Digitigrade

In terrestrial vertebrates, digitigrade locomotion is walking or running on the toes (from the Latin digitus, 'finger', and gradior, 'walk').

See Periphragnis and Digitigrade

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Periphragnis and Extinction

Florentino Ameghino (born Giovanni Battista Fiorino Giuseppe Ameghino; September 19, 1853 – August 6, 1911) was an Argentine naturalist, paleontologist, anthropologist and zoologist, whose fossil discoveries on the Argentine Pampas, especially on Patagonia, rank with those made in the western United States during the late 19th century.

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.

Homalodotheriidae

Homalodotheriidae is an extinct family comprising four genera of notoungulate mammals known from the Late Eocene (Tinguirirican) through Late Miocene (Chasicoan) of Argentina and Chile in South America. Periphragnis and Homalodotheriidae are Toxodonts.

Isotemnidae

Isotemnidae is an extinct family of notoungulate mammals known from the Paleocene (Las Flores Formation, Itaboraian) to Middle Miocene (Honda Group, Laventan) of South America. Periphragnis and Isotemnidae are Toxodonts.

Lake Musters and Lake Colhué Huapí

Lake Musters and Lake Colhué Huapí (at altitudes of around) form the terminal stage of the Senguerr River endorheic basin, located in the patagonic central region of Argentina in the south of Chubut province.

Neurocranium

In human anatomy, the neurocranium, also known as the braincase, brainpan, or brain-pan, is the upper and back part of the skull, which forms a protective case around the brain.

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.

Santiago Roth

Santiago Roth (14 June 1850 – 4 August 1924) was a Swiss Argentine paleontologist and academic known for his fossil collections and Patagonian expeditions.

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Periphragnis and Species

Thomashuxleya

Thomashuxleya is an extinct genus of notoungulate mammal, named after famous 19th-century biologist Thomas Huxley. Periphragnis and Thomashuxleya are Eocene mammals of South America, fossils of Argentina, Golfo San Jorge Basin, Paleogene Argentina, Prehistoric placental genera, Sarmiento Formation and Toxodonts.

Tinguiririca fauna

The fossil Tinguiririca fauna, entombed in volcanic mudflows and ash layers at the onset of the Oligocene, about 33-31.5 million years ago, represents a unique snapshot of the history of South America's endemic fauna, which was extinguished when the former island continent was joined to North America by the rising Isthmus of Panama. Periphragnis and Tinguiririca fauna are Paleogene Chile.

Wild boar

The wild boar (Sus scrofa), also known as the wild swine, common wild pig, Eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to much of Eurasia and North Africa, and has been introduced to the Americas and Oceania.
