11 p, 7.0 MB The Scontrone turtles : A new insular testudinoid fauna from the late Miocene of the Central Mediterranean / Georgalis, Georgios (University of Zurich. Palaeontological Institute and Museum (Switzerland)) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
We here describe a small turtle assemblage originating from the early Tortonian (late Miocene) palaeoisland of Scontrone, central Italy, a locality previously known mostly for its endemic mammals and giant birds, which were otherwise shared only with the Gargano localities, another fossiliferous area belonging to the same palaeobioprovince.

The Pliocene-Pleistocene transition in the Neotropics is poorly understood despite the major climatic changes that occurred at the onset of the Quaternary. The San Gregorio Formation, the younger unit of the Urumaco Sequence, preserves a fauna that documents this critical transition. [...]

14 p, 1.8 MB The occurrence of Eocenochelus (Testudines, Pleurodira) from Sardinia supports Palaeogeographic reconstruction of the proximity of the Island to Continental Western Europe during the Eocene / Georgalis, Georgios (University of Zurich. Palaeontological Institute and Museum (Switzerland)) ; Zoboli, Daniel (Università di Cagliari. Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche e Geologiche (Italy)) ; Pérez-García, Adán (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (Espanya). Grupo de Biología Evolutiva) ; Pillola, Gian Luigi (Università di Cagliari. Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche e Geologiche (Italy)) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
In this paper, we describe pleurodire turtle material from the island of Sardinia, Italy, originating from two Eocene localities of the Cixerri Formation. The more complete among the two specimens bears strong resemblance with the continental Western European Eocenochelus eremberti and is tentatively referred to the same species, while the second, less complete specimen is only provisionally referred to the genus Eocenochelus.

13 p, 3.4 MB Turtle remains from the late Miocene of the Cessaniti area, southern Italy-insights for a probable Tortonian chelonian dispersal from Europe to Africa / Georgalis, Georgios (Università di Torino. Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) ; Insacco, Gianni (Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Comiso) ; Rook, Lorenzo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Spadola, Filippo (Università degli Studi di Messina) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
We here describe turtle remains from the late Miocene (Tortonian) of Cessaniti (Calabria, southern Italy), an area that recently has been palaeogeographically reconstructed as being, at that time of the Neogene, directly connected (or at least rather proximate) to northern Africa, instead of Europe. [...]

We here redescribe Palaeophis oweni, an almost neglected species of palaeophiid snakes from the Eocene of Monte Duello, northeastern Italy. Despite having been described since the 19th century and being the only known named species of its genus from Mediterranean Europe, P. [...]

Department of Geological Sciences) ; Vasilyan, Davit (JURASSICA Museum (Switzerland)) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
We herein describe the fossil amphibians and reptiles from the Neogene (latest Miocene or earliest Pliocene; MN 13/14) locality of Maramena, in northern Greece. The herpetofauna is shown to be extremely diverse, comprising at least 30 different taxa. [...]
