Journal ArticleDOI
Giant boid snake from the Palaeocene neotropics reveals hotter past equatorial temperatures
Jason J. Head,Jonathan I. Bloch,Alexander K. Hastings,Jason R. Bourque,Edwin A. Cadena,Edwin A. Cadena,Fabiany Herrera,Fabiany Herrera,P. David Polly,Carlos Jaramillo +9 more
TL;DR: Depositional environments and faunal composition of the Cerrejón Formation indicate an anaconda-like ecology for the giant snake, and an earliest Cenozoic origin of neotropical vertebrate faunas.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nomenclature for fossil and living turtles using phylogenetically defined clade names
Walter G. Joyce,Jérémy Anquetin,Edwin A. Cadena,Julien Claude,Igor G. Danilov,Serjoscha W. Evers,Gabriel S. Ferreira,Andrew D. Gentry,Georgios L. Georgalis,Tyler R. Lyson,Adán Pérez-García,Márton Rabi,Juliana Sterli,Natasha S. Vitek,James F. Parham +14 more
TL;DR: This work converts the vast majority of previously defined clade names for extinct and extant turtles into this new nomenclatural framework, and establishes 113 clade Names, of which 79 had already received phylogenetic definitions and 34 are new.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new small short-snouted dyrosaurid (crocodylomorpha, mesoeucrocodylia) from the paleocene of northeastern Colombia
TL;DR: An African origin of Dyrosauridae with dispersals to the New World by the Late Cretaceous or earliest Paleocene is supported and a radiation of dyrosaurid crocodyliforms, possibly following the K-P boundary, in tropical South America is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a formal re-description of the Jimol and Castilletes formations, including a revised contact, and a description of a new lithostratigraphic unit, the Ware Formation (late Pliocene) were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oldest known marine turtle? A new protostegid from the Lower Cretaceous of Colombia
Edwin A. Cadena,James F. Parham +1 more
TL;DR: The description and phylogenetic analysis of a new fossil marine turtle from the Lower Cretaceous of Colombia that has a minimum age that is >25 million years older than the minimum age of the previously recognized oldest chelonioid are presented and it is concluded that D. padillai is the oldest, definitive, fully marine turtle known to date.
