First lizard remains (Teiidae) from the Miocene of Brazil (Solimões Formation)

Abstract: The South American Teiidae fossil record is restricted to the Cenozoic, and the most conspicuous remains were found in Early to Late Miocene of Argentina and Middle Miocene of Colombia and Peru, all represented by Tupinambinae lizards. Here, we describe a right fragmentary dentary and one dorsal vertebra collected in the Solimões Formation at the Talismã locality, situated on the Purus River, in the southwestern Brazilian Amazonia (Late Miocene). The material is tentatively conferred to the extinct genus Parad… Show more

“…Apart from Colombia, Peru and Venezuela, one of the most relevant South American Miocene vertebrate assemblages is known from the late Miocene southwestern Brazilian Amazonia (Amazonas and Acre States), where an interesting diversity of squamates is recognized (Hsiou and Albino, ; Hsiou et al, ). This fauna includes cf.…”

“…Epicrates sp., Waincophis sp., and indeterminate “colubrids” (Hsiou and Albino, ; Hsiou et al, ). This squamate association suggest some ecological similarities among the mid and late Miocene faunas of northern South America, supported by the presence of the teiid lizard Paradracaena , the basal alethinophidian Colombophis , and the boid snake Eunectes (Hsiou and Albino, ; Hsiou et al, ). The predominance of tropical faunal elements and associated environments with aquatic habitats (rivers, swamps, and shallow lakes) developed in tropical rainforests matches the presumed lifestyle of lizards and snakes recorded from these regions (Hsiou and Albino, ).…”

“…A fauna desta região era vasta, contando com grandes tartarugas (Broin et al, 1993), lagartos (Hsiou et al, 2009), crocodilianos (Fortier, 2014), primatas platirríneos e atelídeos (Bergqvist et al, 1998;Kay & Frailey, 1993), roedores das famílias Agoutidae e Neoepiblemidae (Bergqvist et al, 1998) e mamíferos proteroteriídeos (Bergqvist et al, 1998). Destacam-se os fósseis de grandes crocodilianos registrados em rochas da Formação Solimões, a exemplo de espécies dos gêneros Purussaurus, Mourasuchus e Gryposuchus (Aureliano et al, 2015;Souza et al, 2016;Cidade et al, 2019).…”

“…Assim, a ocorrência de teiídeos (indubitavelmente) sul-americanos tem início no Eoceno da Argentina e Brasil (Donadío, 1985;Brizuela & Albino, 2015;Carvalho, 2001). A partir daí, tem-se um hiato no registro fóssil de alguns milhões de anos até o Mioceno, período em que esse grupo apresenta uma grande diversificação e proliferação, com materiais recuperados desde a Colômbia até latitudes mais austrais da Argentina, no centro-sul patagônico (Estes, 1961(Estes, , 1983bDonadio, 1983aDonadio, , 1984aSullivan & Estes, 1997;Brizuela & Albino, 2004, 2008aAlbino et al, 2006;Albino et al, 2009;Hsiou et al, 2009;Pujos et al, 2009).…”
