Mammifères fossiles de Tarija / par Marcellin Boule ; avec la collaboration de A. Thevenin.

Abstract: Le peuple de Bolivie, en i'S45, n'était pas loin d'utiliser les ossements fossiles en pharmacopée, comme le font encore les Chinois; il leur attribuait un rôle tutélaire. « Les liuesos de Gigante, dit Weddel, ont la réputation de porter bonheur au\ maisons dans lesquelles on les conserve, il m'est souvent arrivé de rencontrer, dans le coin d'une salle, des fragments de tibia on de fémur dont je n'ai pu par aucune prière me rendre maître, c'étaient, pour ainsi dire, les dieux pénates de l'habitation. » Les foui… Show more

“…In fact, newly born and immature individuals of Gomphotheriidae are rare, especially those with complete deciduous dentition. Rhynchotherium is known only from a few specimens ([ 25 ] Fig 2B ), whereas Cuvieronius has a more significant fossil record from Bolivia and Mexico [ 11 , 12 , 26 , 27 ]. One of the youngest records of immature Cuvieronius is a newborn skull specimen from Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico, which presents the upper tushes in loci [ 26 ].…”

“…The Pleistocene at Tarija in southern Bolivia has long been known (Boule and Thevenin, 1920), but in recent years the Tertiary has produced a number of new localities (Hoffstetter, 1970g, 1977Hoffstetter et al, 1971Hoffstetter et al, , 1972 in press b).…”

“…The Proboscidea records in Bolivia are from the localities of Ulloma (Lucas, 2008a) and the Tarija valley (Boule & Thevenin, 1920;Ferretti, 2008) and all are recognized as Cuvieronius hyodon, based on the presence of diagnostic remains such as upper tusks and skull specimens. The Tarija valley records of C. hyodon are considered one of the largest and most important occurrences of Quaternary proboscidean megafauna in South America (Prado et al, 2005;Ferretti, 2010;Mothé et al, in press) due the numerous complete individuals from all age classes (Boule & Thevenin, 1920;Mothé et al, 2016).…”

However, although the fossil fauna from the Tarija valley has great diversity, including proboscideans, xenarthrans, carnivores, artiodactyls and perissodactyls (Tonni et al, 2009), no specimens with the diagnostic features of Notiomastodon platensis have been reported from this locality.…”
