First journal of 2019. :) If you want to see some obscure prehistoric mammals, I would recommend you check this interesting gallery: https://www.deviantart.com/ivanbel Here, featuring the leptictid Tschelkaria rostrata Alo, if you want some relaxing music, you could listen the soundtrack of When dinosaurs roamed America: Cheers!!

Here is a nice reconstruction of Necrolestes by ~Venatophis (https://www.deviantart.com/venatophis), the last survivor of the dryolestid mammals that inhabited Argentina during the Miocene: Also I'm glad to see again works of the Spanish paleoartist Óscar Sanisidro :iconoscarsanisidro:, this time in a note in National Geographic about Cenozoic South America: http://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/ciencia/actualidad/cuando-america-se-convirtio-solo-continente_12584/4

Well, not him exactly, but there is a lot of his illustrations of prehistoric animals in a sticker album made by the Biomuseo in Panamá, that shows the species that lived in North, Central and South America before and during the Great Biotic Interchange. Is very curious to see it and of course, is good to see being used for divulgation. :) If you want to see the images of the pages of the album, just use the right button of the mouse over the images in the webpage.

So now has been described new remains of the enigmatic arcosaur predator from the Jurassic of Madagascar, Razanandrongobe sakalavae. Is for me very interesting that it turns to be not only a crocodyliform, but a member of the Notosuchia, the mostly terrestrial crocodile relatives that were very succesful in the Southern continents during the Cretaceous and persisted until the Miocene in South America. Actually, Razanandrongobe is also a primitive member of Sebecosuchia, the predatory zifodont group that includes to Baurususuchus and Sebecus. With a skull over a meter in length, is bigger even than Barinasuchus! The reconstructed snout of Raz
