Here we describe the first record of a chalicothere from the Miocene of Myanmar. The chalicothere, documented by a par− tial mandible, was unearthed from the lower portion of the Irrawaddy Formation in the region of Magway, Central Myanmar. The Burmese material belongs to an early late Miocene fauna which recently yielded hominoid remains attrib− uted to Khoratpithecus. The specimen, which is a...

The characteristics of paleosedimentary environments are great significance for the enrichment organic matter (OM) and hydrocarbons in lacustrine shale. This study analyzed mineralogy, well logging data, geochemical parameters (total carbon pyrolyzed hydrocarbon), inorganic (major trace elements), multiple proxies based on parameters. These were used to reconstruct environment lower 1st Member ...

A new genus and species of Hypselosomatinae (Heteroptera: Dipsocoromorpha), Hypsotsijilia bretoni Cifuentes-Ruiz Brailovsky gen. nov., sp. nov. is herein described based on a female specimen. It represents the first fossil record Schizopteridae in early Miocene amber from Chiapas, Mexico. compared with related taxa estuarine paleoenvironment discussed, matching one previously cited for subfamil...

Madagascar is well known for producing exceptional fossils. However, the record for selachians remains relatively poorly known. Paleontological reconnaissance on the island of Nosy Makamby, off northwest Madagascar, has produced a previously undescribed assemblage of Miocene fossils. Based on isolated teeth, ten taxonomic groups are identified: Otodus, Carcharhinus, Galeocerdo, Rhizoprionodon, ...
