More-complete remains of Procolpochelys charlestonensis (Oligocene, South Carolina), an occurrence of Euclastes (upper Eocene, South Carolina), and their bearing on Cenozoic pancheloniid sea turtle distribution and phylogeny
Robert Weems
New and more-complete material of Procolpochelys charlestonensis Weems and Sanders, 2014 provides the first detailed information on the skull, jaw, and plastron of this species, which occurs in the Oligocene Ashley and Chandler Bridge formations near Charleston, South Carolina. This material allows a much more detailed comparison of this turtle with the co-occurring pancheloniid species Ashleychelys palmeri Weems and Sanders, 2014 and Carolinochelys wilsoni Hay, 1923a, as well as with its Miocene successor Procolpochelys grandaeva (Leidy, 1851). Fused dentaries, found in the Cooper River north of Charleston, belong to the pancheloniid genus Euclastes, previously known only from the Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene. This specimen, apparently from the upper Eocene Parkers Ferry Formation, expands the temporal range of this genus and indicates that Euclastes survived in the North Atlantic basin far longer than was previously known. These new finds, combined with previous records of fossi...

A New Specimen of Xiphiorhynchus sp. cf. aegyptiacus (Istiophoriformes, Xiphioidei, Xiphiidae) and Billfish Diversity in the Oligocene of South Carolina

A partial billfish rostrum from the Chandler Bridge Formation (Early Chattian, Oligocene) near Ladson, South Carolina, U.S.A., is described and identified as Xiphiorhynchus sp. cf. aegyptiacus. The angle of taper, depth to width ratio of the cross section, and other morphological features (including dorsolateral grooves and a planoconvex cross-section), indicate that this specimen (and an earlier published speccimen) is closest in morphology to X. aegyptiacus from the Eocene Birket Qarun Formation of Egypt. This confirms the presence of a second xiphiid in the Chandler Bridge Formation besides the well-documented giant swordfish X. rotundus. This is an unusual example of two Xiphiorhynchus species existing in known sympatry, and strongly contrasting morphologies and morphometrics may point to niche partitioning between the two forms. The occurrence of specimens strongly resembling X. aegyptiacus in the western Atlantic also further substantiates past arguments that easy dispersal ac...

The record of Cenozoic horses in Mexico: current knowledge and palaeobiological implications
Victor Manuel Bravo Cuevas, Jaime Priego Vargas
Fossil horses in Mexico have been documented for 150 years. At present, there exists an abundant and diverse record that deserves consideration. In this contribution, we offer an overview of the current knowledge on the fossil hors- es in Mexico. The Mexican record of the family Equidae in- cludes early horses and representatives of the subfamilies Anchitheriinae and Equinae. The diversity of horses in Mexico includes 15 genera and 28 species with ages ranging from early Eocene to late Pleistocene. The record of the sub- family Equinae from the upper Neogene and Quaternary de- posits from central Mexico represents the largest proportion of fossil horse evidence in the country. Of the species observed within the Mexican territory, 75 % were at their southernmost extent in North America. The Mexican record shows that a considerable portion of the evolutionary history of horses occurred in Mexico. Nevertheless, the study of fossil horses in Mexico is ongoing. Therefore, including the Mexican specimens in studies using biogeographical, evolutionary and ecological approaches will considerably improve our knowledge of horses in southern North America.
