The Brazilian canids show various feeding habits that include insectivory, omnivory, and hypercarnivory, and some species have overlapped distributions. For those reasons, the group is an exquisite model for studies that seek to understand how different diets relate to morphofunctional specializations, how sympatric species explore and possibly partition environmental resources, or how ke…
The first 50 million years of dinosaur evolution, during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic, encompass most radiation events in the history of the group, suggesting that key macroevolutionary differentiation between clades was being established during these emergent times. In Gondwana lands, dinosaur origins is well investigated in the Late Triassic deposits of south Brazil and north-we…
Among the greatest questions in paleontology there is the evolution of sauropodomorph dinosaurs (Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha) and how they became the largest herbivores to occupy the Earth. Sauropodomorpha was a diverse and widely distributed group, conquering all continents during the Mesozoic. The Sauropoda subgroup, the popular giant long-necked dinosaurs, became the largest known land…
Sauropods are a group of dinosaurs easily recognizable by their body plan, constituted of long necks and tails, and four columnar limbs. Another important factor was the acquisition of a large body mass, which was only possible thanks to anatomical changes, involving mainly the fore and hind limbs, thus causing a better distribution of mass. These changes would be accentuated in the linea…
The fossil Alligatoroid crocodylians of the Caimaninae clade from the Miocene of South America has the largest taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity among the crocodyliforms of the continent during the Cenozoic, considering both fossil and living forms. This record includes fossil forms assigned to living genera, such as Caiman and Melanosuchus, and fossil genera similar to thos…
Recent expeditions aimed at collecting in new localities in the Adamantina Formation (Bauru Group, Upper Cretaceous) in the General Salgado-SP region have provided a series of fossiliferous materials associated with Eunotosuchia (Crocodyliformes, Mesoeucrocodylia). One of these new materials, composed of a partial skeleton, is the subject of the following project. Preliminary analyses dem…
One of the less known Brazilian canids is the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis). Little evidence is available regarding several aspects of the biology of A. microtis. This is particularly evident about the craniomandibular anatomy and feeding habits of the species. In a world in which anthropic actions have intensified in the Amazon region, it is imperative that we study that elusive …
The project proposes the study of the fossils from a new outcrop in the municipality of Auriflama - SP. The outcrop is attributed to Adamantina Formation which is the most extensive subunit of the Bauru Group (Bauru Basin, Upper Cretaceous). The Adamantina Formation is one of the most relevant deposits for the Upper Cretaceous due to its abundance of fossils and the great variety of taxa.…

Sauropods, a distinctive group of dinosaurs recognized by their long necks, tails, and four columnar limbs, achieved their notable body mass through anatomical adaptations, particularly in the fore and hind limbs, ensuring better mass distribution. This evolution is particularly pronounced in Titanosaurs, a diverse Cretaceous group, predominantly in South America, now acknowledged as the …
Recent expeditions in a new locality in the Adamantina Formation (Bauru Group, Upper Cretaceous) in General Salgado, São Paulo discovered a new specimen of a new species of eunotosuchian (Crocodyliformes, Notosuchia). The new specimen consists of a partial skeleton including cranial and postcranial elements, and is the key focus of the following project. Preliminary anatomical assessments…
The fossil fauna of caimanine crocodylians (Crocodyliforms, Caimaninae) during the Miocene of the Amazon in South America is one of the most taxonomically diverse and morphologically disparate of the evolutionary history of crocodyliforms. It includes taxa considered as apex predators (Purussaurus), gulp-feeders (Mourasuchus), durophagous (Caiman brevirostris) and generalists (Acresuchus)…
