Results of the systematic review and regional palaeobiogeographical context of Tegula atra, including morphometric, multivariate and cladistic analyses, show that it is a keystone species in the marine Quaternary of Argentina that can be used as Pleistocene biostratigraphical tool and paleoclimate-palaeoceanographical signal. While it was absent in warmer than present high sea-level episodes during the Miocene (“Entrerriense” transgression, ca. 10 Ma) and Pleistocene (MIS11), it exhibits an… Expand
