Introduction
I'm a PhD student working with cenozoic vertebrate faunas of northwestern Argentina. The main interest of my research is the biostratigraphy, paleoenvironmental and paleobiological reconstruction of the cenozoic vertebrate faunas of the Jujuy's valleys and highlands.
I'm also interest in Dasypodidae and Chlamyphoridae fossil record, evolution and systematics.

“Caminando sobre gliptodontes y tigres diente de sable” is a university extension project composed by students, graduates and teachers of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Bellas Artes and Humanidades), researchers and fellows of CONICET. This proposal was accredited in 2009 and later subsidized by the UN...
“Caminando sobre gliptodontes y tigres dientes de sable” es un colectivo universitario de Argentina -provincia de Buenos Aires- que reúne estudiantes y graduados de biología, paleontología, antropología, geología, informática y artes plásticas (https://www.facebook.com/proyectocaminando). Nuestra actividad gira en torno al patrimonio paleontológico...
Cingulata (Mammalia, Xenarthra) is one of the most conspicuous clades in the Cenozoic fossil record of South America, largely due to the high abundance of disarticulated osteoderms in most fossiliferous sites of the continent. Nevertheless, the fragmentary nature of this material hinders the identification of extinct taxa, particularly in groups th...
Caviomorph rodents have presented an astonishing size variation both in the past and present times. The objective of this work is to estimate the body mass of 32 extinct caviomorphs and to analyze how several factors influence estimates: (1) the predictors selected (i.e., individual teeth and toothrows); (2) the reference sample used (i.e., rodents...
Caviomorph rodents present an astonishing variation in sizes both nowadays and in the past. The objective of this work was to estimate the body mass of 32 extinct caviomorphs. Moreover, we seek to analyse the influence on the estimations of the: i. selected predictors (i.e., measurements on cheek teeth); ii. used reference sample comparing three di...
Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX se llevaron a cabo numerosas exploraciones paleontológicas en unidades cenozoicas de la provincia de Jujuy, Argentina, propiciando el inicio de los estudios referidos a los cingulados fósiles en este territorio. Más de 100 años después el conocimiento del registro fósil de Cingulata se extiende saltuariamente e...
New research in the petroliferous area of Tupungato, Mendoza Province, central-western Argentina, has revealed a much richer fossil assemblage than previously known for this zone. First mammal remains from this area go back to the 1930s, but only three taxa were recognized since then, two notoungulates, the mesotheriid Typotheriopsis silveyrai and...
Aplication of geometric morphometrics on extant and extinct Dasypodini movable osteoderms as a complement in the identification of fossil taxa of the tribe.
Several climatic fluctuations occurred during the Cenozoic; some of them were drastic while others were more gradual, but both have deep effects on the biotas. Armadillos have an old history and faunal replacement and/or local extinctions were detected, linked with climatic fluctuations. Physiological characteristics like high thermal conductance,...
“Caminando…” es un colectivo de Extensión Universitaria de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentina) que trabaja hace más de 10 años por la popularización de la ciencia. Nuestro equipo está conformado por estudiantes, graduados/as y docentes de distintas áreas (Paleontología, Botánica, Ecología, Zoología, Antropología, Informática y Artes Plá...
Entre gliptodontes, tigres dientes de sable y perezosos gigantes, transcurría la vida en la región Pampeana durante los últimos 2,5 millones de años (Cuaternario). Estos animales, al igual que muchos otros, como toxodontes, macrauquenias, osos y mastodontes, se encuentran actualmente extintos y podemos conocerlos solo a través de sus restos fósiles...
Los cambios climáticos típicos del Cuaternario fueron responsables de importantes variaciones del nivel eustático del mar, y del consecuente avance o retroceso de la línea de costa. En el caso del litoral bonaerense, estas variaciones quedan evidenciadas por la presencia de diversas unidades marinas. En el margen sur del Río de la Plata se registra...
