Contribution à la classification des pistes de vertébrés du Trias: Les types du Stormberg d'Afrique du Sud (1).Paul EllenbergerPublished online: 16/10/1972Keywords: Footprints; South Africa; Stormberg; Trias https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.5.ext Abstract Cet article explore les pistes fossiles de vertébrés du Stormberg (Trias, Afrique du Sud), révélant une diversité ichnologique inédite avec 64 ichnotypes classés en tridactyles, tétradactyles et pentadactyles. Les découvertes incluent des reptiles bipèdes comme Qemetrisauropus et Prototrisauropus, dont les empreintes suggèrent des adaptations évolutives vers la bipédie, ainsi que des pentadactyles géants comme Pentasauropus, annonçant les futurs sauropodes. L’étude combine ichnologie et restes osseux pour reconstituer des écosystèmes triasiques riches, où flore (fougères, conifères) et faune témoignent d’une transition écologique majeure avant l’essor des dinosaures.

The terrestrial environnement and the origin of land vertebratesJean-Louis HartenbergerPublished online: 02/12/1980Keywords: environments; Land vertebrates; Terrestrial https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.11.1.17 Abstract L'ouvrage rassemble vingt contributions présentées lors d”un colloque organisé par l'éditeur en avril 1979, à Newcastle upon Tyne. Ce sont différents aspects du problème de la << sortie des eaux ›> qui ont été abordés lors de cette réunion. Par son volume, la qualité des communications, l”abondance des illustrations, nul doute que ce livre est appelé à devenir un ouvrage de référence pour les paléontologistes qui s'intéressent de près ou de loin à ce problème : enseignants et cher cheurs y trouveront leur compte. ll est un peu regrettable toutefois qu'aucun tenant de <<l”école suédoise» n'ait eu l`occasion d`y présenter ses thèses.

Eléments nouveaux sur l'évolution des genres Eucricetodon et Pseudocricetodon (Eucricetodontinae, Rodentia,Mammalia, de l'Oligocène d'Europe Occidentale.Bernard ComtePublished online: 01/07/1985Keywords: evolution; Occidental Europe; Oligocene; Rodentia; Systematics https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.15.1.1-68 Abstract The review of material recently collected in the new localities from the “Phosphorites du Quercy", and different localities from the South of France, bring new informations on the genus Eucricetodon THALER. 1966, and Pseudocricetodon THALER, I969 (Middle and Upper Oligocene. Western Europe). Thanks to Eucricetodon huerzeleri VIANEY-LIAUD, 1972, which were unsufficiently known until now, is proposed. During the middle Oligocene Eucricetodon atavus MISONNE, 1957 seems to give rise to two lineages. One of them led to Eucricetodon huberi,which however exhibits a larger size and a development of progressive characters on the teeth. The other would be Eucricetodon huerzeleri well differentiated at the “Mas de Pauffié" standard level (beginning of the upper Oligocene). The ornementation of lower incisors is described, when possible. Though the fossils are not abundant, it seems that the ancestral lineage, Eucriretodon atavus, remains in the upper Oligocene (Boningen standard level). evolving into Eucricetodon praecursor SCHAUB, 1925 (Rickenbach standard level). The characters of Eucricetodon dubius (SCHAUB. 1925), represented by a numerous population in Pech Desse and Pech du Fraysse (Quercy). confirm that this species and Eucricetodon praecursor belong to two different lineages. As Eucricetodon dubius shows more primitive features, this species could not originale from Eucricetodon atavus -Eucricetodon huberi. The appearance of this species at the level of Mas de Pauffié could be the result of an immigration. A new definition of Pseudocricetodon incertus (SCHLOSSER. 1884) is given. This species has been found in several localities, where it had not been identified until now. lts comparison with Pseudocricetodon moguntiacus (BAHLO. l975), found at several localities from the standard level of Antoingt (end of middle Oligocene). shows a parallel evolution to that of Pseudocetodon incertus, which is of larger size and with a less complicated pattern of teeth.

Cervus elaphus rossii (Mammalia, Artiodactyla), a new endemic sub-species from the Middle Pleistocene of CorsicaElisabeth PereiraPublished online: 28/12/2001Keywords: Cervus elaphus; Corsica; Endemism; Pleistocene Abstract Several endemic deer remains from the Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Castiglione cave (Oletta, Haute-Corse) are examined here. A morphometric analysis allows to relate them to a new insular subspecies Cervus elaphus rossii. The bones were compared with those of the mainland early Middle Pleistocene subspecies Cervus elaphus acoronatus Beninde and the European species Cervus elaphus Linné (Late Middle Pleistocene and Upper Pleistocene forms (continental and insular)). The Castiglione fossil shows peculiar morphofunctional features in its appendicular skeleton suggesting a morphological convergence with certain Bovidae.

Analysis of mammalian communities from the late Eocene and Oligocene of southern FranceSerge Legendre
Published online: 15/12/1986 Keywords: Late Eocene; Mammalian communities; Oligocene; Quercy; Southern France https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.16.4.191-212 Abstract Valverde's cenogram method is used to analyse mammalian communities from the late Eocene to late Oligocene of southern France, mainly from the "Phosphorites du Quercy". Cenogram analysis involves plotting the size of each component species in a fauna on a semilog diagram in rank order, permitting fossil faunas to be compared with Recent ones. The configurations of Recent communities serve as models for establishing the general environmental characteristics of fossil mammalian faunas. This method of analysis applied to faunal sequence can reveal major and sudden ecological perturbations. The paleobiogeographical event (i.e. the mammalian immigration wave) at the Eocene-Oligocene Boundary in western Europe, known as the «Grande Coupure", is here shown to represent a drastic and sudden ecological change: late Eocene tropical environments in Europe deteriorated rapidly turning to subdesert or desert environments al the beginning of the Oligoccne.

Sur la présence de dents de mammifères (Creodonta, Perissodactyla) près de la limite Paléocène-Eocène à Hoegaarden, BelgiqueRichard Smith and Jerry J. HookerPublished online: 16/12/1996Keywords: Belgium; Creodonta; Landenian; Mammals; Perissodactyla Abstract Amongst a collection of selachian teeth made at Hoegaarden in a marine level of Bruxellian (Lutetian) age, containing a reworked Landenian (Sparnacian) fauna mixed with a contemporaneous one, a few teeth of terrestrial mammals have been discovered. They comprise two rare European taxa: ? Hallensia sp. and Palaeonictis gigantea, both known from the Landenian. Even though the ?Hallensia has not been definitely identified, il differs from the only perissodactyl of this age previously recorded from Belgium (Cymbalophus cuniculus).

Mammals and stratigraphy : Geochronology of the continental mammal-bearing Tertiary of south America.Larry G. Marshall, Robert Hoffstetter and Rosendo PascualPublished online: 15/12/1983Keywords: Cenozoic; Geochronology; Mammalia; South America; Stratigraphy; Tertiary https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.13.ext Abstract The principles and practices employed in establishment and recognition of South American land mammal ages are reviewed along with previous and present concepts of distinguishing time, rock, and faunal units. Previous chronological arrangements of South American Tertiary land mammal faunas are appraised on the basis of recent geological and paleontological data. Twelve South American Tertiary land mammal ages are here recognized [from oldest to youngest, Riochican (middle to late Paleocene); Casamayoran (early Eocene); Mustersan (middle Eocene); Divisaderan (late Eocene); Deseadan (early [to middle?] Oligocene); Colhuehuapian (late Oligocene); Santacrucian (early Miocene); Friasan (middle Miocene); Chasicoan (late Miocene); Huayquerian (latest Miocene); Montehermosan (early to middle Pliocene); and Chapadmalalan (late Pliocene)]. As all except the Friasian were originally defined on the basis of Argentine faunas, these are discussed first and at length, and each is reviewed with discussion of type locality, stratigraphy, type fauna, and faunal correlations. Non-Argentine faunas are then discussed country by country in alphabetical order. PV article infos Published in Vol. 13, Ext (1983) |

Functional aspects of the evolution of rodent molarsPercy M. ButlerPublished online: 01/10/1980Keywords: Chewing; Muridae; Rodents; Wear facets https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.9.ext.249-262 Abstract The wear facets of primitive rodents can be homologized with those of primitive primates and ungulates. As in primates, the jaw movement was ectental, with an increased anterior component in the lingual phase (phase ll). The buccal phase (phase I) in rodents approaches the horizontal and it tends to be reduced in importance in comparison with the lingual phase. ln more advanced rodents the efficiency of grinding is increased by the development of additional cutting edges of enamel (e.g. enlargement of hypocone, development of mesoloph and lingual sinus). The buccal phase movement becomes lined up with the lingual phase movement to form a single oblique chewing stroke,resulting in planation of the crown. As the stroke becomes more longitudinal (propalinal) the enamel edges become more transverse. In Muridae propalinal chewing evolved before the loss of cusps, facets were reorientated and additional cusps developed. PV article infos Published in Vol. 9, Ext (1980) |

Un nouveau genre de ?Palaeotheriidae (Perissodactyla, Mammalia) décelé dans les phosphorites du Quercy (Eocène supérieur ou Oligocène) d'après un arrière crâne sans dents.Jean-Albert RemyPublished online: 15/06/1999Keywords: endocranial cast; Epitympanic sinus; Palaeotheriidae; Paléogène; Quercy Phosphorites; skull anatomy Abstract A rear skull from the Quercy Phosphorites is described. It documents a new perissodactyl genus, likely assignable to the family Palaeotheriidae and probably paleogene of age. Owing to the lack of any tooth, this family assignment remains however somewhat hypothetical. The specimen is firstly characterised by the presence of a wide epitympanic sinus swelling and hollowing the squamosal shell and the post-glenoid process. This cavity might make up a peculiar pattern of improvement for the hearing apparatus by carrying out a kind of drum near the middle ear, whereas the bony tympanic remains barely bulged and forms but a few developed auditory bulla. This pattern appears an outcome of a trend observed with many palaeotheriids, such as Plagiolophus. Furthermore, the endocranial cast shows a rather high degree of gyrencephaly for a paleogene mammal. The prominent lambdoidal crest points out a powerful nape musculature and a lowered head bearing. Consequently, it is assumed that such an animal was probably living in somewhat open places, at the expense of rather tough vegetables. It might have been accordingly provided with a semi-hypsodont, cement covered, "plagiolophoid" dentition. PV article infos Published in Vol. 28, Fasc. 1 (1999) |
