#FossilFriday Ever-growing teeth don't always mean a grass diet! New microwear analysis reveals pachyrukhines, curious rodent-like fossil mammals, were primarily fruit & seed eaters 🍴, overturning traditional assumptions. 10.0.3.248/j.palaeo.202...

Ever-growing teeth ≠ grass diet! New study on pachyrukhine notoungulates, rodent-like fossil mammals from Argentina, shows they were mainly fruit & seed eaters! #Paleontology #fossils

Happy to be participating in the CAPA 2025, in #Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina. 🤩 Presenting our works on south american native ungulates. Always a pleasure to share science and connect with colleagues. Great week!

#FossilFriday is the perfect day to time-travel!
Our Paleo-LILLO field trip through 14 ka-8 Ma formations was absolutely incredible!
The thrill of uncovering ancient life, piece by piece, is a feeling like no other. Every fossil tells a story!

#FossilFriday 🇦🇷 Extinct mammals from the last 15 Ma! We revealed fascinating details about their locomotor habits and diet. From rhino-like forms and agile macraucheniids to rodents, we explored how ecological niches were shared in the Neogene. doi.org/10.1080/0891...
