“…The absence of a falciform bone in P. bergi has been considered as indicative of a poor adaptation to bipedalism (Brandoni et al, 2004). The crural index (lengths of tibia/femur X 100 after Coombs, 1983) for P. bergi is similar of that of extant obligatory quadrupeds and suggests greater agility than other megatherines (De Iuliis et al, 2004). The length of the hind limb in Pyramiodontherium sp.…”

“…La Formación Toro Negro ha sido incluida en la mayoría de los estudios de correlación paleomagnética y de trazas de fisión realizados en sucesiones cenozoicas del antepaís andino de las provincias de La Rioja y San Juan de Argentina (Tabbutt et al, 1989;Ré y Vilas, 1990;Ré y Barredo, 1993; entre otros) como también ha sido de interés desde el punto de vista paleontológico (De Iullis et al, 2004;Rodríguez Brizuela y Tauber, 2006;Krapovickas et al, 2007Krapovickas et al, , 2009; entre otros).
