The aim of this contribution is to describe a femur (MCRS 199) assigned to Nothrotheriops sp. from the Late Pleistocene of Santa Fe Province (Argentina), and discuss the implications of this find in the context of the dispersal of ground sloths during the Great American Biotic Interchange. The specimen MCRS 199 is smaller than the femora referred to the North American species Nothrotheriops texanus...
In this contribution, we describe new remains (skull and humeri) of the Megatheriinae Megathericulus patagonicus Ameghino, 1904, recovered from the middle Miocene fossiliferous locality of Quebrada Honda, Bolivia. We also discuss the taxonomic, biogeographical, and chronological relevance of this discovery. Referral of the new specimens described here to Megathericulus patagonicus is based on metric...
Pyro clastic and epiclastic continental sediments bearing the “fauna Astrapothericulense” from the Pinturas Formation of Ameghino crop out mainly at several localities at the upper valley of the Pinturas River and its tributaries, northwestern Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. These continental sediments are referred to the Burdigalian Stage and constitute the basis for the recognition of the Pinturas...
Megalonychidae are known from the Deseadan of Argentina and Bolivia to the present, represented by the tree sloth Choloepus Illiger. The principal fossil records of this clade are those from the Quaternary of Central America and the Antilles (e.g., Megalocnus Leidy, Acratocnus Anthony) and North America (e.g., Megalonyx Harlan, Pliometanastes Hirschfeld and Webb). From the Quaternary of South America,...
