A phylogeny of all major groups of Mesozoic mammals based on phylogenetic analyses of 46 taxa and 275 osteological and dental characters, using parsimony methods is proposed, suggesting that the “obtuse−angle symmetrodonts” are paraphyletic, and that they lack reliable and unambiguous synapomorphies.

Phylogenetic and morphometric analyses including these newly discovered taxa suggest a different interpretation: that mammals with tribosphenic molars are not monophyletic.

Disassociated eutherian proximal tarsals from Riochican fissure fills near Sao Jose de Itaborai, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are described and, where feasible, are assigned to dental species from that locality, based on predicted morphology, relative size, and relative abundance.

The Salla Beds contain a rich assemblage of Deseadan mammals that traditionally has been considered of early Oligocene age. These deposits, located 90-100 km SE of La Paz, Bolivia, consist of more…
