Les mammifères Montiens de Hainin (Paléocène moyen de Belgique) Part III : Marsupiaux. PalaeoVertebrata 13 (3): 51-64. Export citationAbstractThe oldest european marsupials are described from some specimens (isolated upper molars) recently found from the Hainin sediment (Middle Paleocene of Belgium). These fossils document a new species of the Peradectes genus. They give evidence of a much older occurrence of the marsupials in Europe than it was assumed. They allow us to postulate a didelphid dispersal from South America towards the western-holarctic area operating in two phases : the first one of the Peradectes genus at the end of the Cretaceous; the second one of the Didelphíni tribe at the end of the Paleocene. A central american crossing is likely for the first one, whereas a transafrican way is tentatively argued for the second one. Published in Vol. 13, Fasc. 3 (1983) |
