New insights on the paleogeographic distribution of the Late Pleistocene ground sloth genus Xibalbaonyx along the Mesoamerican Corridor

Muknalia minima from the Yucatán of Mexico is synonymous with the collared peccary, Pecari tajacu (Artiodactyla: Tayassuidae)

Measurements and intact morphological features indicate the Muknal Cave specimen belongs to the extant collared peccary, Pecari tajacu, and diagnostic characters of this taxon include a concave notch along the caudal edge of the ascending ramus and a ventrally directed angular process.

The Muknal cave near Tulum, Mexico: An early-Holocene funeral site on the Yucatán peninsula

Here, we report on an incomplete human skeleton, soot patches related to anthropogenic fireplaces, and cut marks on the mandible of an extinct peccary, from the submerged Muknal cave southwest of…

Life and death of the ground sloth Xibalbaonyx oviceps from the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

ABSTRACT Ongoing investigations in submerged cave systems of Quintana Roo in south-eastern Mexico reveal a rich Late Pleistocene megafaunal assemblage, among them the megalonychid ground sloth…

Panthera balamoides and other Pleistocene felids from the submerged caves of Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Panthera balamoides lines up with other likely endemic mammals in the region, which suggest that at least northern Quintana Roo, if not the entire Yucatán peninsula, may have been ecologically isolated during the Pleistocene, due to the repeated expansion of grassland.

Xibalbaonyx exinferis n. sp. (Megalonychidae), a new Pleistocene ground sloth from the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

ABSTRACT Recent palaeontological research in submerged caves of the north-eastern Yucatán Peninsula (YP) in Mexico has resulted in the identification of a diverse megafaunal assemblage in the area,…

Muknalia is a Collared Peccary (Pecari tajacu): A Reply to Stinnesbeck et al.

It is argued that morphological features that were used to diagnose “Muknalia” all fall within the range of variation of the extant P. tajacu, or are a consequence of taphonomic modification, including human handling.

The first Mexican record of peccary footprints (Artiodactyla, Tayassuidae) from the late Cenozoic of Puebla: ichnotaxonomy and palaeobiological considerations

Abstract A set of artiodactyl footprints preserved in the Pie de Vaca Formation from the Plio-Pleistocene of south-central Puebla in central Mexico is formally described. The sample consists of five…

Yucatán carnivorans shed light on the Great American Biotic Interchange

It is suggested that landscape and ecological changes caused by latest Pleistocene glaciation supported an interchange pulse that included A. wingei, P. troglodytes and Homo sapiens, and suggests a more complex history of these organisms in Middle America.

The Chan Hol cave near Tulum (Quintana Roo, Mexico): evidence for long‐lasting human presence during the early to middle Holocene

Numerous charcoal accumulations discovered in the submerged Chan Hol cave near Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, have been 14C‐dated revealing ages between 8110 ± 28 14C a BP (9122–8999 cal a BP) and 7177…
