A Diverse Snake Fauna from the Early Eocene of Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat, India

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica (2008)

Jean-Claude Rage Annelise Folie R. S. Rana Hukam Singh Kenneth D. Rose

The early Eocene (Ypresian) Cambay Formation of Vastan Lignite Mine in Gujarat, western India, has produced a diverse assemblage of snakes including at least ten species that belong to the Madtsoiidae, Palaeophiidae (Palaeophis and Pterosphenus), Boidae, and several Caenophidia.Within the latter taxon, the Colubroidea are represented by Russellophis crassus sp.nov.(Russellophiidae) and by Procerophis sahnii gen.et sp.nov.Thaumastophis missiaeni gen.et sp.nov. is a caenophidian of uncertain family assignment.At least two other forms probably represent new genera and species, but they are not named; both appear to be related to the Caenophidia.The number of taxa that represent the Colubroidea or at least the Caenophidia, i.e., advanced snakes, is astonishing for the Eocene.This is consistent with the view that Asia played an important part in the early history of these taxa.The fossils come from marine and continental levels; however, no significant difference is evident between faunas from these levels.The fauna from Vastan Mine includes highly aquatic, amphibious, and terrestrial snakes.All are found in the continental levels, including the aquatic palaeophiids, whereas the marine beds yielded only two taxa.Vastan Mine is only the second locality in which the palaeophiids Palaeophis and Pterosphenus co-occur.The composition of the fauna from Vastan is on the whole similar to that of the early Eocene of Europe; however, comparisons with early Eocene faunas of other continents are not possible because they are poorly known or unknown.

MORPHYLL: A database of fossil leaves and their morphological traits

Palaeontologia Electronica (2018)

Christopher Traiser Anita Roth‐Nebelsick Michaela Grein Johanna Kovar‐Eder Lutz Kunzmann

Morphometric characters of fossil leaves such as size and shape are important and widely used sources for reconstructing palaeoenvironments.Various tools, including CLAMP or Leaf Margin Analysis, utilize leaf traits as input parameters for estimating palaeoclimate, mostly based on correlations between traits and climate parameters of extant plants.During the last few years, the scope of information extracted from the morphology of fossil leaves has been further expanded by including leaf economics, which describe correlations between functional leaf traits and ecological strategies.The amount and quality of available data are essential for a successful palaeoecological analysis utilizing leaf traits.Here, the database MORPHYLL is described.This database is devised to offer a web-based resource for fossil leaf trait data.For this purpose, fossil leaves from various collections were digitized and morphometric traits extracted from leaf outlines.Besides metadata such as accession number, repository, fossil site or taxonomic information (for identified specimens), MORPHYLL offers queries for several morphometric parameters and derived ecophysiological traits (e.g., leaf mass per area).Currently, the database contains data from about 6000 fossil leaves from sites in Central Europe, spanning almost the entire Paleogene and part of the early Neogene.The application potential of the database is demonstrated by conducting some exemplary analyses of leaf traits for the Paleocene, Eocene and Oligocene, with the results indicating changes of mean leaf traits through time.For example, the results show leaf mass per area to peak during the Eocene, which is in accordance with general climate development during the Paleogene.

Anatomy, Relationships, and Paleobiology ofCambaytherium(Mammalia, Perissodactylamorpha, Anthracobunia) from the lower Eocene of western India

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology (2019)

Kenneth D. Rose Luke Holbrook Kishor Kumar R. S. Rana Heather E. Ahrens

The anatomy of Cambaytherium, a primitive, perissodactyl-like mammal from the lower Eocene Cambay Shale Formation of Gujarat, India, is described in detail on the basis of more than 350 specimens that represent almost the entire dentition and the skeleton. Cambaytherium combines plesiomorphic traits typical of archaic ungulates such as phenacodontids with derived traits characteristic of early perissodactyls. Cambaytherium was a subcursorial animal better adapted for running than phenacodontids but less specialized than early perissodactyls. The cheek teeth are bunodont with large upper molar conules, not lophodont as in early perissodactyls; like perissodactyls, however, the lower molars have twinned metaconids and m3 has an extended hypoconulid lobe. A steep wear gradient with heavy wear in the middle of the tooth row suggests an abrasive herbivorous diet. Three species of Cambaytherium are recognized: C. thewissi (∼23 kg), C. gracilis (∼10 kg), and C. marinus (∼99 kg). Body masses were estimated from tooth size and long bone dimensions. Biostratigraphic and isotopic evidence indicates an age of ca. 54.5 Ma for the Cambay Shale vertebrate fauna, the oldest Cenozoic continental vertebrate assemblage from India, near or prior to the initial collision with Asia. Cambaytheriidae (also including Nakusia and Perissobune) and Anthracobunidae are sister taxa, constituting the clade Anthracobunia, which is sister to Perissodactyla. We unite them in a new higher taxon, Perissodactylamorpha. The antiquity and occurrence of Cambaytherium—the most primitive known perissodactylamorph—in India near or before its collision with Asia suggest that Perissodactyla evolved during the Paleocene on the Indian Plate or in peripheral areas of southern or southwestern Asia.

The upper Eocene-Oligocene carnivorous mammals from the Quercy Phosphorites (France) housed in Belgian collections

Geologica Belgica (2020)

Floréal Solé Valentin Fischer Julien Denayer Robert P. Speijer Morgane Fournier

The Quercy Phosphorites Formation in France is world famous for its Eocene to Miocene faunas, especially those from the upper Eocene to lower Oligocene, the richest of all. The latter particularly helped to understand the ‘Grande Coupure’, a dramatic faunal turnover event that occurred in Europe during the Eocene-Oligocene transition. Fossils from the Quercy Phosphorites were excavated from the middle 19th century until the early 20th century in a series of sites and became subsequently dispersed over several research institutions, while often losing the temporal and geographical information in the process. In this contribution, we provide an overview and reassess the taxonomy of these barely known collections housed in three Belgian institutions: the Université de Liège, KU Leuven, and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. We focus our efforts on the carnivorous mammals (Hyaenodonta and Carnivoramorpha) and assess the stratigraphic intervals covered by each collection. These fossils are derived from upper Eocene (Priabonian), lower Oligocene (Rupelian), and upper Oligocene (Chattian) deposits in the Quercy area. The richness of the three collections (e.g., the presence of numerous postcranial elements in the Liège collection), the presence of types and figured specimens in the Leuven collection, and some identified localities in the RBINS collection make these collections of great interest for further studies on systematics and the evolution of mammals around the ‘Grande Coupure’.
