Current scientific knowledge of Tertiary fossils from south of the Ailao Shan-Red River shear zone is extremely poor, in sharp contrast with the situation nowadays, as the area of Laos and Vietnam is regarded as a global hotspot of biodiversity. In this context, the few localities that yielded fossil assemblages are of first importance for the understanding of Cenozoic palaeobiogeography and...

Guelb el Ahmar (Bathonian, Anoual Syncline, eastern Morocco): First continental flora and fauna including mammals from the Middle Jurassic of Africa

Haddoumi, Hamid ; Allain, Ronan ; Meslouh, Said ; Metais, Grégoire ; Monbaron, Michel ; Pons, Denise ; Rage, Jean-Claude ; Vullo, Romain ; Zouhri, Samir ; Gheerbrant, Emmanuel

In: Gondwana Research, 2016, vol. 29, no. 1, p. 290–319

We report the discovery in Mesozoic continental “red beds” of Anoual Syncline, Morocco, of the new Guelb el Ahmar (GEA) fossiliferous sites in the Bathonian Anoual Formation. They produced one of the richest continental biotic assemblages from the Jurassic of Gondwana, including plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Both the sedimentological facies and the biotic assemblage indicate a...

Mosaicomeryx gen. nov., a ruminant mammal from the Oligocene of Europe and the significance of ‘gelocids’

Mennecart, Bastien ; Métais, Grégoire

In: Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2015, vol. 13, no. 7, p. 581–600

The description of new material and the reassessment of specimens previously assigned to Gelocus quercyi lead us to propose a new genus for this species, Mosaicomeryx gen. nov. Moreover, the description of a juvenile skull and other specimens of Prodremotherium elongatum, and comparison with Dremotherium, provide evidence that these two genera are not closely related as previously thought. A...
