New remains of Dasypodidae have been discovered in the Neogene Salicas Formation in La Rioja Province, Argentina, indicating a Late Miocene age and adding to the diversity of this formation. The association of dasypodids suggests affinities with Late Miocene localities in northwestern Argentina, with some species being endemic to the region. These differences may be related to tectonic and paleoenvironmental factors.
The deposits of the Neogene Salicas Formation crop out along the north area and western flanks of the Velasco range, in the northern area of La Rioja Province, Argentina. Previous known remains from the formation include Notoungulata, Litopterna, and Rodentia, in addition to several Xenarthra, including Pilosa (sloths) and Cingulata Glyptodontidae and Dasypodidae. In this contribution, new remains recovered from the Salicas Formation at the area of El Degolladito are described and referred to distinct species of Dasypodidae: Vetelia ghandii Esteban and Nasif 1996, Chasicotatus peiranoi Esteban and Nasif 1996, Chorobates villosissimus (Reig, 1958), Macrochorobates scalabrinii (Moreno and Mercerat, 1891), Paleuphractus argentinus (Moreno and Mercerat, 1891), and Prozaedyus sp. This association of dasypodids increases their diversity for this formation and suggests a Late Miocene age for the bearing levels. Additionally, this association shows great affinities with those reported for other Late Miocene localities along northwestern Argentina, including several species that represent endemic taxa not shared with the Pampean Region. In this context, the differences of Dasypodidae taxa between these regions may be related to both orogenic and paleoambiental features.
