In deposits of the late Pleistocene of Argentina the remains of ground sloths (Xenarthra, Folivora) are frequently represented by crania in which only the posterior region is preserved. In this work we characterize the occipital region of late Pleistocene Mylodontidae to allow a taxonomic identification of fragmentary specimens of Lestodon armatus, Mylodon darwinii, Glossotherium robustum and Scelidotherium leptocephalum. The available juvenile specimens were also included in this study and the ontogenetic shape changes are described. Additionally, the signs in the occipital region that allow the identification of juvenile specimens are discussed. The mylodontids G. robustum and M. darwinii have a significant variability in the occipital region which could be explained by sexual differences, or well as a result of palaeoenvironmental changes that took place during the Lujanian.

We here introduce a new species of the aspidoceratid genus Physodoceras, P. widerai n. sp., the corresponding microconchs of which are represented by Sutneria eugyra Barthel. The Physodoceras succession of the upper Kimmeridgian (Pseudomutabilis to Beckeri zones) to Lower Tithonian (Hybonotum to Ciliata zones) is summarized. Lectotypes are designated for Perisphinctes casimirianus Fontannes, Aspidoceras episoides Fontannes, Ammonites hoplisus Oppel, and Ammonites aporus Oppel.

Parent H., Garrido A.C., Scherzinger A. & Schweigert G.
A small collection of ammonites
from the outcrops of the Los Catutos Member (Vaca Muerta Formation) in
Cuchillo Curá indicates a stratigraphic position in the upper
Internispinosum Zone. This ammonite assemblage is composed of
Cieneguiticeras aff. falculatum (Steuer), Lingulaticeras
sp. A, Haploceratoidea indet. (lamellaptychus), Choicensisphinctes
sp. A, Zapalia triplex (Zeiss & Leanza), Catutosphinctes
cf. inflatus (Leanza), Catutosphinctes sp. A,
Parodontoceras cf. calistoides (Behrendsen), Aspidoceras
euomphalum (Steuer), Toulisphinctes cf. rafaeli
(Oppel), and Windhauseniceras internispinsoum (Krantz).
