          Abstract

          Los fósiles de mamíferos continentales hallados en la localidad Barrancas Blancas, ubicada en la Estancia 'La Argentina', cerca de Camarones, en el sureste de la provincia del Chubut, Argentina, constituyen una nueva asociación faunística del Paleógeno de Patagonia. El afloramiento en dicha localidad está integrado, desde la base al techo, por sedimentitas continentales y marinas asignadas a la Formación Sarmiento y a la Formación Chenque, respectivamente. En la sección inferior de la Formación Sarmiento se encontraron mamíferos fósiles, principalmente Xenarthra, Notoungulata y Litopterna, que conforman la nueva asociación. Se han podido reconocer los siguientes taxones: Xenarthra, Cingulata, Dasypodidae, Euphractinae, Eutatini: Meteutatus percarinatus; Euphractini: Archaeutatus sp.; Parutaetus; Prozaedyus; Peltephilidae: Peltephilus undulatus; Glyptodontidae, Glyptatelinae indet.; Cingulata incertae sedis: Machlydotherium ater; Phyllophaga: Pseudoglyptodon; Notoungulata, 'Notohippidae'; 'Rhynchippinae': Rhynchippus pumilus; 'Rhynchippinae' indet.; Interatheriidae: Eopachyrucos pliciferus, Proargyrohyrax curanderensis; 'Archaeohyracidae': Pseudhyrax eutrachytheroides?; Leontiniidae: Leontinia gaudryi?; Isotemnidae indet.; Litopterna, Proterotheriidae indet. Los nuevos hallazgos paleontológicos confirmarían en principio una edad Mamífero Deseadense para estos niveles por la presencia de los géneros Leontinia y Rhynchippus. Sin embargo, la diversidad de xenartros y de varios grupos de tipoterios (Interatheriidae y 'Archaeohyracidae') presentes en Barrancas Blancas indicarían una fauna de EM Tinguiriquense o incluso podría estar representando una fauna equivalente a los niveles de La Cantera (Gran Barranca), cuyas dataciones de ca. 30 Ma estarían indicando un lapso pos-Tinguiririquense a pre-Deseadense. Desde el punto de vista paleobiogeográfico, Barrancas Blancas correspondería a la localidad patagónica más oriental con fauna paleógena de las edades mencionadas anteriormente.

          Translated abstract

          The continental fossil mammals found in Barrancas Blancas, (near Camarones, Southeast of Chubut Province, Argentina) constitute a new faunal association from the Paleogene of Patagonia. From the base to the top, the outcrop in this locality is composed of continental and marine sedimentites, assigned to Sarmiento Formation and Chenque Formation, respectively. The fossil mammals that represent the new association (mainly Xenarthra, Notoungulata and Litopterna) come from the lower section of the Sarmiento Formation. The following taxa have been recognized: Xenarthra, Cingulata, Dasypodidae, Euphractinae, Eutatini: Meteutatus percarinatus; Euphractini: Archaeutatus sp.; Parutaetus; Prozaedyus; Peltephilidae: Peltephilus undulatus; Glyptodontidae, Glyptatelinae indet.; Cingulata incertae sedis: Machlydotherium ater; Phyllophaga: Pseudoglyptodon; Notoungulata, 'Notohippidae', 'Rhynchippinae': Rhynchippus pumilus; 'Rhynchippinae' indet.; Interatheriidae: Eopachyrucos pliciferus, Proargyrohyrax curanderensis; 'Archaeohyracidae': Pseudhyrax eutrachytheroides?; Leontiniidae: Leontinia gaudryi?; Isotemnidae indet.; Litopterna, Proterotheriidae indet. Although the presence of Leontinia and Rhynchippus might support a Deseadan age for these levels, the high diversity of xenarthrans and many groups of tipotheres (Interatheriidae and Archaeohyracidae) could indicate a Tinguirirican mammal Age. Moreover, this association could represent an equivalent fauna to that registered in levels from La Cantera (Gran Barranca), with a radiometric estimated age of ca. 30 Ma, which would indicate a post-Tinguirirican to pre-Deseadan age. From a paleobiogeographic point of view Barrancas Blancas would correspond to the most eastern Patagonian locality with Paleogene Fauna of the ages mentioned above.

          Trends, rhythms, and aberrations in global climate 65 Ma to present.

          Since 65 million years ago (Ma), Earth's climate has undergone a significant and complex evolution, the finer details of which are now coming to light through investigations of deep-sea sediment cores. This evolution includes gradual trends of warming and cooling driven by tectonic processes on time scales of 10(5) to 10(7) years, rhythmic or periodic cycles driven by orbital processes with 10(4)- to 10(6)-year cyclicity, and rare rapid aberrant shifts and extreme climate transients with durations of 10(3) to 10(5) years. Here, recent progress in defining the evolution of global climate over the Cenozoic Era is reviewed. We focus primarily on the periodic and anomalous components of variability over the early portion of this era, as constrained by the latest generation of deep-sea isotope records. We also consider how this improved perspective has led to the recognition of previously unforeseen mechanisms for altering climate.
