Age and Correlation of Fossiliferous Late Paleocene–Early Eocene Strata of the Erlian Basin, Inner Mongolia, China
The Asian continent preserves a rich and diverse record of Paleogene mammal faunas and their evolution through time. The sequence of faunal succession is of key importance to our understanding of the origin and diversification of modern mammal groups, as phylogenetic data suggest that many major modern clades may be rooted in Asia. By calibrating the Asian fauna sequence within a chronostratigr...
متن کاملA New Zalambdalestid (eutheria) from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia and Its Implications for the Origin of Glires
Barunlestes butleri Kielan-Jaworowska, 1975 from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia was erected as a second genus of Zalambdalestidae, a specialized family of Asiatic Cretaceous eutherian mammals. Since the beginning, the peculiarities of one specimen (MgM-I/135), which could not be attributed to individual variation, led to questioning not only its generic but even family status. Among the differ...
متن کاملEndocranial and Inner Ear Morphology of Vintana Sertichi (Mammalia, Gondwanatheria) from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar
We present the first digital reconstruction of the endocranial cavity and endosseous labyrinth of the Late Cretaceous gondwanatherian mammal Vintana sertichi from the Maevarano Formation of Madagascar. The Malagasy specimen is exceptionally well preserved and represents the only described cranium known for Gondwanatheria, an enigmatic clade from the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene of Gondwana. Th...
متن کاملFirst mammal fossil locality from the late Miocene of Zagros, western Iran
A new and the first mammal fossil locality from the Zagros Basin of Iran is reported here. The fossil locality, known as Dimeh, is located in the Lorestan province, west of Iran. The fauna includes abundant bovid cranial remains, mostly representing boselaphines and palaeoryxoids, as well as gazelles and spiral horned antelopes. Hipparionine horses similar to Hippotherium group are also represe...
متن کاملEvidence of dietary differentiation among late Paleocene-early Eocene plesiadapids (Mammalia, primates).
Plesiadapis cookei is an extinct relative of extant euarchontans (primates, dermopterans; scandentians), which lived in North America during the late Paleocene. P. cookei body mass has been estimated to be approximately 2.2 kg, making it large compared with other species of its genus from North America, but similar to some from Europe. In particular, size as well as dental form similarities to ...
