Dating dinosaur oodiversity: chronostratigraphic control of LateCretaceous oospecies succession.Nieves Lopez-MartinezPublished online: 15/12/2003Keywords: Biostratigraphy; Chronology; dinosaur eggshells; Late Cretaceous Abstract An increasing fossil record of dinosaur eggs and eggshells allows putting ootaxa within a chronostratigraphic framework, in order to study their distribution pattern leading eventually to their use as biochronological markers. For these purposes, high-quality data exists in four major regions; North America, South America, Europe and Asia (Central Asia and India). Most of the highly diverse dinosaur egg record has been dated as Latest Cretaceous in age (Campanian-Maastrichtian), reaching the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary closer than the dinosaur bone record. However, dating continental sections is problematic and need to be carefully verified, as it appears when comparing the European dinosaur eggshell record from two well-studied areas. Ootaxa distribution in both sides of the Pyrenees (Tremp and Aix basins) shows comparable oospecies successions, but different chronology. This disagreement probably indicates that one or both successions have a wrong chronostratigraphic calibration. PV article infos Published in Vol. 32, Fasc. 2-4 (2003) |

The paramyid rodent Ailuravus from the middle and late Eocene of Europe, and its relationshipsAlbert E. WoodPublished online: 15/05/1976Keywords: Ailuravinae; Rodentia https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.7.1-2.117-149 Abstract The complex taxonomic history of the paramyid rodent genus Ailuravus is reviewed. It has been described as Hyracotherium, as a creodont carnivore and as a lemuroid primate - errors at the ordínal level that are most unusual for a rodent. The genus is a member of the poorly known subfamily Ailuravinae, probably derived from some European Early Eocene species of Paramys. Aíluravus was a large arboreal paramyid with highly rugose cheek teeth, very well developed hypocone, and a remarkably weak lower incisor. It was tropical to subtropical. Three named species are recognized, A. macrurus from the Lutetian of Messel; the genotype, A. picteti, from Egerkingen, Buchsweiler and the Geiseltal, slightly later in the Lutetian; and A. stehlinschaubi, new name, from the Bartonian of Mormont-Eclépens and Robiac. One or more unnamed species are present in the Ypresian of Cuis. The species are close to a phyletic sequence. No later representatives of the genus are known. The late Eocene to earliest Oligocene North American paramyid Mytonomys, whose relationships have been obscure, is tentatively referred to the Ailuravinae.

Rates of evolution in divergent species lineages as a test of character displacement in the fossil record : tooth size in Paleocene Plesiadapis (Mammalia, Proprimates)Phillip D. Gingerich
Published online: 16/12/1996 Keywords: character displacement; character divergence; fractal time series; Plesiadapis; Rates of evolution Abstract Two species lineages of North American late Paleocene Plesiadapis exhibit a pattern of size divergence from a common ancestral lineage. Time series of fossils in each of these lineages are analyzed to test the idea that size divergence represents competitive character displacement. The critical factor in a test of character divergence is showing that divergent lineages evolved directionally rather than randomly (multifactorially). Analysis of evolutionary rates and their temporal scaling in Plesiadapis shows that both divergent species lineages have the scaling slope expected for lineages evolving randomly rather than directionally, and size divergence in Plesíadapis does not represent character displacement. Rates of evolution commonly observed on a per-generation time scale are high enough to produce character displacement within a few generations. Thus character displacement is not likely to be visible on scales of time that can be studied in the fossil record. PV article infos Published in Vol. 25, Fasc. 2-4 (1996) |

Second international symposium on Dinosaur, Eggs and Babies (Montpellier-Aix-en-Provence, 25-29 Août 2003).Monique Vianey-Liaud
Published online: 15/12/2003 Keywords: amniotic eggshells; dinosaurs Abstract Le premier Symposium International sur les ceufs de dinosaures et leurs petits a connu un francs succès, à Isona, en Catalogne (Espagne) en 1999. I1 faisait suite à la publication en 1994 d'un premier ouvrage "Dinosaurs eggs and babies" édité par K. Carpenter, K. Hirsch et J. Homer. Entre 1994 et 1999, les nouvelles découvertes ont augmenté significativement, notamment celles d'ceufs embryonnés, et le nombre de chercheurs impliqués dans ce domaine a accompagné cet accroissement. Jusque là, l'étude de ces objets, les coquilles d'ceufs, est restée longtemps marginale, faute d'une méthodologie scientifique appropriée. PV article infos Published in Vol. 32, Fasc. 2-4 (2003) |

Les Ischyrictis de la transition Vindobonien-VallésienMiquel Crusafont i PairóPublished online: 15/09/1972Keywords: Ischyrictis; Mustelidae https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.5.5.253-260 Abstract Le groupe des Mustélides « Ischyrictoïdes » développe des tendances évolutives qu’engendrent des formes de Carnassiers prédateurs robustes et de grande taille. C’est une évolution comparable à celle que l’on trouve chez Plesiogulo, qui, lui, a une origine énigmatique (Petter, 1963). Chez les Mustélides on peut signaler deux lignées assez nettes : celle du sous-genre nominal des Laphyctis, plus conservatrice, plus mustéliforme, renfermant les espèces Ischyrictis (Laphyctis) mustelinus VIRET et L. zibethoides BLAINVILLE ; celle de type félinoïde caractérisée par L. Ginsburg (1961) avec la forme type Ischyrictis (Hoplicitis) florancei du Vindobonien inférieur de Pontlevoy-Thenay et I. helbingi VIRET, 1951 du Vindobonien supérieur de la Grive Saint-Alban. De plus rappelons que I. vorax DEHM et I. comitans DEHM du Burdigalien de Wintershof-West sont sans rapport avec les espèces du Miocène supérieur (Ginsburg, o.c.).

Problems of classification as applied to the RodentiaAlbert E. WoodPublished online: 01/10/1980Keywords: https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.9.ext.263-272 Abstract A classification should be both usable and useful,not too complex either in the amount of splitting or in the number of hierarchies involved, and not so simple as to give a false assurance of knowledge of relationships. Classifications are only possible because we do not have complete knowledge of the evolution of the organisms concerned because gaps in the record are necessary to allow the separation of the various taxa. Rodent classification is complicated by the large number of organisms involved and by the geat amount of parallelism that has taken place in the evolution of any and all features. If several independent features are characteristic of a certain taxon, should an effort be made to define the group on the basis of all the features, or should only one be selected as the determinant ? Unless the evolution of the several features was closely linked, the former solution will sooner or later lead to insurmountable problems. PV article infos Published in Vol. 9, Ext (1980) |

Saturnin Garimond (1914-1987)Jean-Albert RemyPublished online: 15/11/1987Keywords: biography https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.17.3.151-154 Abstract Saturnin Garimond (1914-1987), naturaliste autodidacte né à Fons-outre-Gardon dans le Gard, a marqué la paléontologie et l'archéologie régionale par sa passion précoce pour les sciences naturelles. Quittant l'école à 10 ans, il s'instruit seul et explore inlassablement la garrigue, découvrant des sites préhistoriques dès 1930. Collaborant avec Camille Hugues, il fouille de nombreux gisements, dont la grotte de la Verrerie à Montmirat, révélant un outillage moustérien et des restes de néandertaliens. En 1961, il rejoint le Laboratoire de Paléontologie de Montpellier dirigé par Louis Thaler, contribuant à des fouilles majeures comme celle du gisement de Fons 4. En 1965, il permet la découverte du premier mammifère mésozoïque de France au gisement de Champ-Garimond. Membre de la Société Géologique de France, son érudition et sa collaboration ont enrichi de nombreuses recherches. Homme simple et affable, il a marqué tous ceux qui l'ont connu par son enthousiasme et ses connaissances encyclopédiques. PV article infos Published in Vol. 17, Fasc. 3 (1987) |

Fossil mammals and the age of the changxindian formation, Northeastern ChinaSpencer G. LucasPublished online: 16/12/1996Keywords: Changxindian Formation; China; Eocene; Fossil mammals Abstract Re-evaluation of the small collection of mammal fossils from the Changxindian Formation near Beijing, China indicates the following taxa are present: Eutheria, Hypsimilus beifingensis, cf. Miacis sp., Anthracotheriidae and Forstercooperia grandis. The presence of Forstercooperia grandis indicates an Irdinmanhan age and does not support previous assignment of a Sharamurunian age to the Changxindian Formation.
