Deciphering the timing of the placental mammal radiation is a longstanding problem in
evolutionary biology, but consensus on the tempo and mode of placental diversification …

Abstract The Grande Coupure corresponds to a major episode of faunal turnover in western
Europe around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary that is generally attributed to the influx of …

Large constrictor snakes, referred to the genera Palaeopython and Paleryx, are an
ecologically prominent part of the fauna of Europe during the Paleogene. Most species were …

We describe a near-complete, three-dimensionally preserved skeleton of a metatherian
(relative of modern marsupials) from the middle Eocene (Lutetian: 44–43 million years ago) …

Modern mammals rapidly evolved in the early Cenozoic in all continental provinces,
including in Africa, with one of the first placental branches, the Afrotheria [1, 2]. Afrotherian …

Pan‐trionychids (soft‐shelled turtles) are known from the Neogene and Quaternary fossil
record of Africa. They have so far been totally absent in Palaeogene localities of the …

We provide detailed morphological description, including enamel microstructure, of the
earliest known embrithopod mammals (Afrotheria, Paenungulata), Stylolophus minor and S …

Located along the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture (IAES), the Maastrichtian-Paleogene
Orhaniye Basin has yielded a highly enigmatic-yet poorly dated-Paleogene mammal fauna …

The South American native ungulates (SANUs) are usually overlooked in Eutherian
phylogenetic studies. In the rare studies where they were included, the diversity of SANUs …

Molecular investigations have gathered a diverse set of mammals—predominantly African
natives like elephants, hyraxes, and aardvarks—into a clade known as Afrotheria …
