A new paper is out online: Gallina, P. A., Canale, J. I., & Carballido, J. L., 2021. The earliest known titanosaur sauropod dinosaur. Ameghiniana 58(1), 35-51. https://doi.org/10.5710/AMGH.20.08.2020.3376 Ninjatitan is recovered as a basal titanosaur in the cladistic analysis by Gallina et al., making it the oldest primitive titanosaur to be described and at last synchronizes the basal titanosaur fossil record with the timing of the divergence between titanosaurs and other somphospondylans in the earliest Cretaceous.

I found these small colorful specimens of naturally polished petrified wood, which over millennia were sandblasted by the strong winds blowing across the Patagonia pampas of Argentina.

A new fossil odontocete-related paper is available online: Mariana Viglino; C. Maximiliano Gaetán; José I. Cuitiño; Mónica R. Buono (2020). First Toothless Platanistoid from the Early Miocene of Patagonia: the Golden Age of Diversification of the Odontoceti. Journal of Mammalian Evolution, in press. doi:10.1007/s10914-020-09505-w. Dolgopolis is the first fossil platanistoid known to have relied on suction-feeding rather than raptorial behavior, considering that the xenorophid Inermorostrum and the delphinid Australodelphis are the only extinct odontocetes besides those

The Museo Paleontologico Egidio Feruglio- Trelew, Argentina
Jeffrey P posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Last week I spent ten days visiting Argentina. Most of that time was spent in Patagonia. Argentina does not allow any private fossil collecting, so this wasn't going to be that kind of trip. On our way back from visiting a penguin colony at Punta Tombo we stopped in Trelew whose number one attraction is the Museo Paleontoligico Egidio Feruglio. It primarily features fossils from Patagonia, dinosaurs and mammals, plus Permian age plants, petrified wood, etc. I got to spend a quick hour there and took some photos. Most of the labels were in Spanish and I didn't have time to take notes. Hope you -
A new fossil sperm whale-related paper is available online: Florencia Paolucci, Mónica R. Buono, Marta S. Fernández, Felix G. Marx & José I. Cuitiño (2019) Diaphorocetus poucheti (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Physeteroidea) from Patagonia, Argentina: one of the earliest sperm whales Journal of Systematic Palaeontology DOI: 10.1080/14772019.2019.1605544 Curious to see if anyone has a copy of this paper, because Diaphorocetus along with Idiorophus is one of the earliest sperm whales known in the fossil record.

Do You Know Any Places in Patagonia Where to Go Hunting for Fossils?
marcomarotti posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi all, are there any sites through Argentinian Patagonia where go catching for fossils? Is it legal in the country? Probably at the airport they will not let me outside with fossils, but it will be a nice experience even if i have to leave them to local authorities or museums Thanks -

Hello folks. I was ordering my collection of "Texas Heart Clam". I took a few pictures in the process. All in line. I have doubt about the little one. This one still have fragments of shell. What are those marks? parasites? I hope you have enjoyed it. Good hunt.

Hello. I found this piece the other day, and I think it's some kind of vertebra. What do you think? The coin is big, about 1 inch. The surface has small porous. The interior is solid. The weight is about 6 kg = 12 lb. I found it about 250 m above sea level, and 2 km from the coast, in a place with a lot of small marine fossil.Is it a cetacean ?. Thanks!

Identification of Patagonia's Theropod Teeth
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Periodically you see theropod material offered for sale from Patagonia and to a collector that's awesome. Typically its specimens obtained before the embargo laws went into affect from Argentina. My experience in looking at what has been offered is that it's often mis-identified as to locality, age and species. Sellers put commonly known dinosaurs identification tags to their specimen like Carnotaurus with complete disregard to the actual age and locality of where that dinosaur was described. That may simply be the information provided to them but they don't verify it and it's easy to do.- 25 replies

Hello! I'm relatively new here, but I've been coming to this site for years to look at the great photos and read the discussions. I started this topic to share some of my own research that's going on right now about mass mortalities of marine invertebrates in Patagonia, Argentina. Over that past couple of years I've been working in Argentina, studying fossils (mostly decapods and mollusks) which were killed en masse by volcanic ash. We found some really interesting things in our first trip to the Valdes Peninsula, and documented that volcanic ash can have a killing effect on marine fauna even- 18 replies
