Huilatherium, the Glossary
Huilatherium is an extinct genus of leontiniid, a group of hoofed mammals belonging to the order Notoungulata, that comprises other South American ungulate families that evolved in parallel with some mammals of the Northern hemisphere.[1]

Argentina
Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country in the southern half of South America.
See Huilatherium and Argentina
Brazil
Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest and easternmost country in South America and Latin America.
Clade
In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.
Colloncuran
The Colloncuran (Colloncurense) age is a period of geologic time (15.5–13.8 Ma) within the Middle Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America.
See Huilatherium and Colloncuran
Colombia
Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country primarily located in South America with insular regions in North America.
Diastema
A diastema (diastemata, from Greek διάστημα, 'space') is a space or gap between two teeth.
Fossilworks
Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Honda Group, Colombia
The Honda Group (Grupo Honda, Tsh, Ngh) is a geological group of the Upper and Middle Magdalena Basins and the adjacent Central and Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes. Huilatherium and Honda Group, Colombia are Laventan and Neogene Colombia.

Huila Department
Huila is one of the departments of Colombia.

Incisor
Incisors (from Latin incidere, "to cut") are the front teeth present in most mammals.
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature
The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is an organization dedicated to "achieving stability and sense in the scientific naming of animals".

La Venta (Colombia)
La Venta is a fossil locality located in the modern departments of Tolima and Huila in Colombia. Huilatherium and la Venta (Colombia) are Laventan and Neogene Colombia.

Lagerstätte
A Fossil-Lagerstätte (from Lager 'storage, lair' Stätte 'place'; plural Lagerstätten) is a sedimentary deposit that exhibits extraordinary fossils with exceptional preservation—sometimes including preserved soft tissues.
See Huilatherium and Lagerstätte
Laventan
The Laventan (Laventense) age is a period of geologic time (13.8 to 11.8 Ma) within the Middle Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America. Huilatherium and Laventan are Neogene Colombia.
Leontiniidae
Leontiniidae is an extinct family comprising eighteen genera of notoungulate mammals known from the Middle Eocene (Mustersan) to Late Miocene (Huayquerian) of South America. Huilatherium and Leontiniidae are Toxodonts.
See Huilatherium and Leontiniidae
Maxilla
In vertebrates, the maxilla (maxillae) is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones.
Miocene
The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).
Notoungulata
Notoungulata is an extinct order of ungulates that inhabited South America from the early Paleocene to the end of the Pleistocene, living from approximately 61 million to 11,000 years ago.
See Huilatherium and Notoungulata
Oligocene
The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.
See Huilatherium and Oligocene
Paleogene
The Paleogene Period (also spelled Palaeogene or Palæogene) is a geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Neogene Period Ma.
See Huilatherium and Paleogene
Skull
The skull is a bone protective cavity for the brain.
South America
South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere.
See Huilatherium and South America
South American land mammal age
The South American land mammal ages (SALMA) establish a geologic timescale for prehistoric South American fauna beginning 64.5 Ma during the Paleocene and continuing through to the Late Pleistocene (0.011 Ma).

Taubatherium
Taubatherium is an extinct genus of mammal, belonging to the order Notoungulata. Huilatherium and Taubatherium are prehistoric placental genera and Toxodonts.
See Huilatherium and Taubatherium
Toxodontidae
Toxodontidae is an extinct family of notoungulate mammals, known from the Oligocene to the Holocene (11,000 BP) of South America, with one genus, Mixotoxodon, also known from the Pleistocene of Central America and southern North America (as far north as Texas). Huilatherium and Toxodontidae are Miocene mammals of South America and Toxodonts.
