We report a new small podocnemidid, Gestemys powelli gen. et sp. nov., based on one nearly complete skull, lower jaw, two shells, and remains of the appendicular skeleton belonging to specimens from Eocene Geste Formation San Antonio de la Cobres Basin, Salta Province, north-western Argentina. As in other podocnemidid genera, exhibits fully developed medially extensive cavum pterygoidei, an incisura columellae auris enclosing stapes Eustachian tube, lacks exoccipital quadrate contact. bears...
ABSTRACT The Puna–Altiplano Plateau of the Central Andes is second-highest plateau in world (after Tibet), with a mean elevation 4000 m.a.s.l. and an arid to hyperarid climate. Uplift has affected lower-level atmospheric circulation, acting as barrier humid easterly winds from Amazon basin favoring across-strike precipitation gradient resulting climate towards east orogen's interior. In modern climate, Bolivian High anticyclone regulates upper troposphere but little known about high-altitude...
