ABSTRACT Argentoconodon fariasorum is the only triconodont from the Jurassic of South America. Originally described on the basis of an upper molariform, A. fariasorum is now known by several specimens, including one that preserves most of its dentition, upper and lower jaws, and several postcranial elements. Close anatomical similarity exists between Argentoconodon fariasorum, Ichthyoconodon jaworowskorum, from the Cretaceous of Morocco, and the likely Jurassic Volaticotherium antiquus, from… Expand

First Amphilestid from South America: A Molariform from the Jurassic Cañadón Asfalto Formation, Patagonia, Argentina
We report here the first amphilestid triconodont from the Jurassic of South America. The specimen, a single isolated molariform, was found at the Queso Rallado locality from where a growing mammalian… Expand
A basal sphenodontian (Lepidosauria) from the Jurassic of Patagonia: new insights on the phylogeny and biogeography of Gondwanan rhynchocephalians
TLDR
A new rhynchocephalian taxon from the Middle Jurassic of Patagonia, Argentina is described, representing the first Jurassic record of the group in South America and suggesting some degree of endemism during the initial stages of the breakup of Pangaea. Expand
A revision of the putative Late Cretaceous triconodonts from South America
Austrotriconodon mckennai and Austrotriconodon sepulvedai, from the Campanian Los Alamitos Formation, Patagonia, Argentina were originally described as triconodont mammals and the sole members of the… Expand
A lower jaw of Palaeoxonodon from the Middle Jurassic of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, sheds new light on the diversity of British stem therians
TLDR
A mandible with near-complete dentition from the late Bathonian Kilmaluag Formation is presented, representing the amphitheriid Palaeoxonodon ooliticus, previously known only from isolated teeth, and sheds new light on the taxonomic diversity of British Middle Jurassic stem therians. Expand
Ancient Mammals of Gondwanan South America
This is a synopsis of what is known of South American mammals from the Mesozoic Era, which begins (according to present information) in the Early Jurassic around 183–174 Ma when a triconodont tooth… Expand
New data on the microvertebrate fauna from the Upper Jurassic or lowest Cretaceous of Ksar Metlili (Anoual Syncline, eastern Morocco)
Abstract The Middle Jurassic – Early Cretaceous period witnessed the emergence of some major representatives of modern continental vertebrate groups (stem lissamphibians, squamates, therian mammals… Expand
NEW TRIBOSPHENIC MAMMALS FROM THE MUSSENTUCHIT LOCAL FAUNA ( CEDAR MOUNTAIN FORMATION , CENOMANIAN ) , UTAH , USA
Herein we describe two new tribosphenic mammals from the Cedar Mountain Formation of Emery County, Utah, USA. The fossils occur in a narrow stratigraphic interval near the top of the unit… Expand
A deltatheroidan mammal from the Upper Cretaceous Baynshiree Formation, eastern Mongolia
Abstract Deltatheroidans are a specialized group of basal metatherians with a long fossil history and a broad geographic distribution across Asia and North America. The group was among the first… Expand
The Late Triassic Record of Cynodonts: Time of Innovations in the Mammalian Lineage
TLDR
The Late Triassic constitutes a pivotal time lapse, marked by an expansion of the geographical distribution and diversification of cynodonts, and summarizes the main morphologies represented in the lineage, including Mammaliaformes, a key group in the authors' understanding of the early evolution of mammals.

On the phylogenetic position of monotremes (Mammalia, Monotremata)
TLDR
The Jurassic shuotheriid Pseudotribos shows a great plesiomorphic similarity to monotremes in the structure of the pectoral girdle, with a large interclavicle immovably connected to the clavicle. Expand

A new genus of triconodont mammals from the Early Cretaceous of Western Siberia
TLDR
A new triconodont mammalfrom the Early Cretaceous Shestakovo 1 locality inWestern Siberia is described and paraphyletic origin of Amphilestidae is suggested, which is regarded as a key group for the understanding of dental evolution of Mesozoic mammals. Expand
AN EARLY CRETACEOUS MAMMAL FROM THE KUWAJIMA FORMATION (TETORI GROUP), JAPAN, AND A REASSESSMENT OF TRICONODONT PHYLOGENY
TLDR
One of the oldest known Japanese mammals, a triconodont lower jaw from the Early Cretaceous Kuwajima Formation, Tetori Group, Japan, is described, highlighting the central role of triconsodonts for early mammalian history and corroborates recent findings indicating that traditional groups of Mesozoic mammals such as Tricondonta, Amphilestidae, and Symmetrodonta are artificial.

Triconodont mammals from the medial Cretaceous of Utah
TLDR
Three new species of triconodontid mammals are described from the upper part of the Cedar Mountain Formation, Emery County, Utah; the largest, at an estimated body weight of 750 g, is the largest known tricondontid and presumably incorporated vertebrate prey into its diet. Expand
New triconodontids (Mammalia) from the Lower Cretaceous Shahai and Fuxin formations, northeastern China

Late Early Jurassic Mammaliaforms from Huizachal Canyon, Tamaulipas, México
Abstract Previous reports of the fossil vertebrates from the upper Lower Jurassic La Boca Formation of Tamaulipas, México, presented descriptions of a tritylodontid therapsid, a burrowing diapsid,… Expand
A New Specimen of Eurylambda aequicrurius and Considerations on “Symmetrodont” Dentition and Relationships
TLDR
The proposed homologies imply that the stylocone is ancestrally a small cusp in the lineage leading to Theria and that the development of a parastylar lobe or “hook” is a derived feature of post-tinodontid mammals, resulting in a more complex origin for the therian upper molar than previously recognized. Expand
In quest for a phylogeny of Mesozoic mammals
TLDR
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.

First haramiyid (Mammalia, Allotheria) from the Mesozoic of Gondwana
TLDR
Staffia aenigmatica gen. nov. is the first record of a haramiyid from Gondwana, and also the youngest stratigraphic occurrence for this allotherian group so far. Expand

TLDR
The ichnological assemblage from the Estancia Laguna Manantiales, from the Middle Jurassic La Matilde Formation, Santa Cruz province, Argentina, is exceptional both in diversity and abundance and different criteria used to distinguish mammalian imprints from non-mammalian tracks are commented.
