Airesites: a New Class of Late Miocene Tektites from Argentina

Introduction: We report the discovery of two tektites (Fig. 1A) collected in the vicinity of Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires Province (BPA), Argentina. The smaller tektite (T2) has an elongate, teardrop form ~2 mm long. The larger one (T1) appears to be a classic disc-shaped tektite ~2 mm in diameter. Both are black in reflected light and exhibit the grooved and pitted surface sculpting common to te...

A New Late Miocene Odobenid (Mammalia: Carnivora) from Hokkaido, Japan Suggests Rapid Diversification of Basal Miocene Odobenids

The modern walrus, Odobenus rosmarus, is specialized and only extant member of the family Odobenidae. They were much more diversified in the past, and at least 16 genera and 20 species of fossil walruses have been known. Although their diversity increased in the late Miocene and Pliocene (around 8-2 Million years ago), older records are poorly known. A new genus and species of archaic odobenid,...
