The Mesozoic plate tectonic and paleogeographic history of Gondwana had a profound
effect on the distribution of terrestrial vertebrates. As the supercontinent fragmented into a …

In recent years, a series of discoveries of a diverse early Eocene (~ 54.5 Ma) terrestrial
mammal fauna from the open-cast lignite mines of western India (District Surat, Gujarat) …

Abstract The Ypresian Cambay Shale Formation at Vastan and Mangrol lignite mines in
Gujarat, western India, has yielded a rich vertebrate fauna with numerous taxa of European …

The fossil record of early primates is largely comprised of dentitions. While teeth can indicate
phylogenetic relationships and dietary preferences, they say little about hypotheses …

Multiple competing hypotheses attribute the evolution of the suite of traits that distinguish
primates from their closest relatives, including forward-facing eyes, which create a wide field …

Caenopithecine adapiform primates are currently represented by two genera from the late
Eocene of Egypt (Afradapis and Aframonius) and one from the middle Eocene of …

Many studies have shown a correlation between postcranial anatomy and locomotor
behavior in mammals, but the postcrania of small mammals (< 5 kg) is often considered to …

The anatomy of Cambaytherium, a primitive, perissodactyl-like mammal from the lower
Eocene Cambay Shale Formation of Gujarat, India, is described in detail on the basis of …

During the last two decades, work carried out in the Eocene lignite sequences of Rajasthan
and Gujarat has thrown considerable light on the terrestrial biotas during the drift of India …

Objective On the talus, the position and depth of the groove for the flexor hallucis longus
tendon have been used to infer phylogenetic affinities and positional behaviors of fossil …
