Several rhinocerotid cheek teeth and mandibular fragments from the upper Miocene of the Samburu Hills and Nakali in northern Kenya are described. These specimens show characteristics that place them in the Tribe Elasmotheriini such as a constricted protocone, a developed antecrochet, and coronal cement. The present specimens are compared with other Elasmotheriini species from Eurasia and sub-Saharan...
The locality of El Caracolar in the Granada Basin (Central Betic Cordillera, southern Spain) has yielded a rich late Miocene assemblages composed of marine invertebrates and vertebrates, accompanied by microfossils, macroflora and trace fossils. Exposed strata consisting of sands, sandy siltstones, silty sandstones, siltstones and calcirudites are divided into four local units. Lithostratigraphically,...
Sediments deposited after the peak of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) in the Apennine foredeep of Italy embody a topic debated on both chronostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental grounds. We performed micropalaeontological (calcareous nannofossil and dinoflagellate cyst) analyses on four stratigraphic sections (Monticino, Civitella del Tronto, Fonte dei Pulcini, Fonte la Casa) and reused those...
In Argentina, Quaternary paleontological and biostratigraphic studies were mainly conducted in the Pampas plains of the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Formosa and Santa Fe. The aim of the present study is to analyse the Pleistocene-Holocene record of the high plains of mountain in Córdoba in order to make interpretations on their biostratigraphical, geochronological, and paleobiogeographical...
Equisetum is described for the first time from Cenozoic deposits of New Zealand. The fossils derive from two early to earliest middle Miocene assemblages in South Island, New Zealand. The fossils are ascribed tentatively to subgenus Equisetum based on their possession of whorled branch scars, but they cannot be assigned with confidence to a formal species. The decline of equisetaleans, otherwise unknown...
