A New Glyptodont (Xenarthra: Cingulata) from the Late Miocene of Argentina: New Clues About the Oldest Extra-Patagonian Radiation in Southern South America

Daniel Barasoain et al.

Summary: Glyptodonts are one of the most amazing Cenozoic South American mammals, with two large clades identified in South America since the early and middle Miocene. A comprehensive revision of late Miocene glyptodonts in central Argentina has revealed low diversity during this period, with only one new species recognized. This species is believed to represent the first branch of the extra-Patagonian radiation and has a fully modern morphology of the caudal tube.

Oldest new Dasypodini (Xenarthra, Cingulata) provides new trails about armadillos evolutionary history

Daniel Barasoain et al.

Summary: The subfamily Dasypodinae diverged from other 'armadillos' around 40 million years ago and Dasypodini is the only living representative, with fossil records dating back to the middle Miocene. A new genus and species of armadillo from Colombia's middle Miocene deposits has been described, providing insight into the transitional morphological processes between different armadillo groups. Despite distinct ecological characteristics, the evolutionary history of Dasypodini and Glyptodontinae show parallelism in terms of their origins and biogeography.

Tectonic degassing drove global temperature trends since 20 Ma

Timothy D. Herbert et al.

Summary: The Miocene Climatic Optimum, which occurred from 17 to 14 million years ago, was a reversal in the cooling trend during the Cenozoic era. Analyzing marine paleotemperature records and ocean crustal production rates, researchers found that the rates of crustal production had a significant impact on global temperatures, explaining the long-term ice sheet and global temperature evolution over millions of years.

Late early Miocene mammals from Laguna del Laja, Cura-Mallin Formation, south-central Chile (-37°S) and their biogeographical and paleoenvironmental significance

Andres Solorzano et al.

Summary: Despite recent efforts, the diversity of Neogene mammals in Chile remains poorly known, with several presumed new taxa awaiting description. Fossil assemblages from the Laguna del Laja locality in Chile reveal the presence of at least 17 taxa, including potential new ones. The fauna correlates well with the Santacrucian SALMA and provides insights into the paleoenvironment of southern South America during the late early Miocene.

New radiometric 40Ar-39Ar dates and faunistic analyses refine evolutionary dynamics of Neogene vertebrate assemblages in southern South America

Francisco J. Prevosti et al.

Summary: The vertebrate fossil record in the Pampean Region of Argentina plays a crucial role in South American vertebrate paleontology, providing the basis for understanding major patterns of vertebrate evolution. New 40Ar/39Ar dates and biochronological analyses help to calibrate Late Miocene-Pliocene faunal successions, establishing age ranges for different faunal stages. This information contributes to a better understanding of the timing of important evolutionary events and extinctions in South America.

THE LATE OLIGOCENE XENARTHRAN FAUNA OF QUEBRADA FIERA (MENDOZA, ARGENTINA) AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SLOTH ORIGINS AND THE DIVERSITY OF PALAEOGENE CINGULATES

Francois Pujos et al.

Summary: The late Oligocene mammalian fauna of Quebrada Fiera is diverse, featuring 13 endemic xenarthran species including sloths and armoured cingulates. The vertebrate fauna suggests a mix of endemic and high latitude species, indicating a varied ecosystem under a temperate or hot climate in late Oligocene South America.

Comparative anatomy and phylogenetic contribution of intracranial osseous canals and cavities in armadillos and glyptodonts (Xenarthra, Cingulata)

Kevin Le Verger et al.

Summary: The evolutionary history of the Cingulata, especially the glyptodonts, remains a debated topic in both morphological and molecular phylogenies. Recent studies suggest that internal anatomy research may enrich morphological matrices for phylogenetic study, but there is still a lack of research on internal cranial anatomy in this group. The comparison of intracranial osseous canals and cavities in extant and extinct cingulates has provided new anatomical variations that could be of interest for further exploring the evolutionary history of cingulates and the origins of glyptodonts on a morphological basis.
