While most diprotodontids were terrestrial quadrupeds and are often compared to placental herbivores like rhinoceros and hippopotamuses, the zygomaturine diprotodontid Nimbadon lavarackorum, based on its post-cranial morphology, is thought to have occupied the treetops. Understanding the dietary ecology of N. lavarackorum during the Miocene can help clarify potential motivations for an arboreal lifestyle. Here, we conducted dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) and stable isotope analysis (SIA) of N. lavarackorum specimens from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area and compared them to analogous extant mammals to assess the likelihood that these tree-dwelling marsupials occupied a unique ecological niche during the Miocene in Australia—arboreal megafrugivores. The DMTA of N. lavarackorum (i.e., low anisotropy and high complexity) is most similar to extant mammals that include a high proportion of fruit in their diet and is inconsistent with and statistically distinct from obligate folivores. Stable carbon isotopes of N. lavarackorum also indicate the consumption of C3 food sources, consistent with the consumption of 13C enriched fruit in a C3 forest environment.

Currently two species are recognized: Dasycercus cristicauda and Dasycercus blythi, with the previously named Dasycercus hillieri considered a junior synonym of D. cristicauda. This investigation integrates modern, historical and subfossil material from across Australia to provide the most comprehensive review of the genus to date. Cranial and dental morphological characters that enable phylogenetic and morphometric analysis of taxa are established. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and principal component analysis (PCA) of craniodental measurements, including from the type specimens of named taxa (D. cristicauda, D. hillieri and D. blythi), are used to assess the validity of each taxon. The results confirm the validity of D. cristicauda and D. blythi as species, but also reconfirm the validity of D. hillieri. As a result, much of the modern ‘D. cristicauda’ material is reassigned to D. hillieri. Three new taxa are proposed: Dasycercus woolleyae sp. nov., Dasycercus archeri sp. nov. and Dasycercus marlowi sp. nov. These six Dasycercus species are distributed across Australia’s arid zone and beyond. Based on prior investigations and the results of this taxonomic review, it is likely that only D. hillieri and D. blythi are extant.

They are the first pre-Pleistocene fossil representatives of this family to be described. Two species are referred to the modern genus Acrobates and two to the modern genus Distoechurus. These species are distinguished from each other and from the living Distoechurus pennatus and Acrobates pygmaeus on the basis of qualitative and quantitative characters of the first lower molar (m1), which is the only tooth known for all four fossil species. Fortunately, m1 is morphologically the most variable tooth in the cheektooth row of acrobatids, and it exhibits numerous genus- and species-specific features. Phylogenetic analyses based on dental characters strongly support monophyly of Acrobatidae relative to other petauroids, as well as providing relatively strong support for reciprocal monophyly of Acrobates and Distoechurus, including the newly described fossil members of these genera. Recognition of species of Acrobates and Distoechurus in these fossil deposits is broadly congruent with recent estimates for the time of divergence of the two modern genera based on molecular data, and also provides an additional fossil calibration point for future studies of marsupial divergence times. These fossil species provide new insights into the biogeographical and ecological history of this enigmatic family of small possums, specifically that the oldest known species of Acrobates occurred in closed forest environments (in contrast to the living species, A. pygmaeus and Acrobates frontalis, which today inhabit open sclerophyll forests and woodlands) and that Distoechurus appears to have originated in Australia, only subsequently dispersing to New Guinea before becoming extinct in its Australian homeland.

Here we report the discovery of an incomplete skull of a previously unknown carettochelyid Carettochelys niahensis sp. nov. from an undated fossil deposit within or beneath a Miocene marine limestone formation in Niah Great Cave, Sarawak, Malaysia. The skull exhibits many anatomical features characteristic of this turtle group but differs from previously known taxa in that it has a broad, nasal orifice that is proportionately wider than in other carettochelyids and relatively shallow but wider temporal arches.

As more specimens have been collected, more maxillary fragments with molars and/or alveoli and a portion of the rostrum preserved are available. With a suite of maxillae now known, new ektopodontid features have revealed themselves, including the shortening of the rostrum compared to other families of contemporary possums. The facial angulation represented by the flexure of the rostrum at the boundary between P3 and the molar row results in the rostrum being angled differently than the molar row. Ektopodontids have a significantly greater angulation and thus shorter faces, compared to that seen in contemporary phalangeriform possums. Two new species of the genus Chunia, from the lower Etadunna Formation, South Australia, can be distinguished from the type species, Chunia illuminata, of the Ditjimanka Local Fauna. Differences in molar morphologies and the degree of facial angulation distinguish a new species of Chunia from the lowest faunal zone and the Minkina Local Fauna (facial angulation of 52°) from C. illuminata from the next higher faunal zone (Ditjimanka Local Fauna), which has a greater facial angulation of 63°, while a second new species of Chunia, also from the Dijimanka Local Fauna, has a facial angulation of 58° and intermediate molar traits. The degree of facial shortening is a valid discriminator between species of ektopodontid marsupials as it coincides with the species level differences in dental morphology. Additionally, C. omega from the Tarkarooloo Local Fauna is placed in new genus, Ngathachunia, as it is outside of the hypodigms for both of the previously described genera, Chunia and Ektopodon. A well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the family indicates the species of Ektopodon form a monophyletic clade, while the species of Chunia are paraphyletic. Judd A.

The fossil consists of a partial skeleton with a nearly complete skull and represents the first unambiguous record of the Phaethontiformes from the Paleocene of the Southern Hemisphere. Clymenoptilon novaezealandicum gen. et sp. nov. has a proportionally shorter pelvis than Prophaethon shrubsolei from the early Eocene London Clay and appears to have been less adapted to foraging in an aquatic environment at or below sea-level. It is furthermore distinguished from P. shrubsolei and Lithoptila abdounensis from the late Paleocene/early Eocene of Morocco in a proportionally smaller foramen magnum of the skull. Together with other plesiomorphic features, this suggests that C. novaezealandicum is the sister taxon of a clade including Lithoptila, Prophaethon and crown group Phaethontiformes, and as one of the oldest stem group phaethontiforms the new species may indicate a Southern Hemispheric centre of origin of tropicbirds. After a recently described bony-toothed bird, C. novaezealandicum is the second seabird species from the Waipara Greensand to show affinities to taxa from the early Paleogene of the Northern Hemisphere. The wide early Paleogene distribution of the Phaethontiformes stands in sharp contrast to the geographic restriction of coeval diving seabirds, and different factors appear to have limited the dispersal of aquatic and pelagic seabird taxa in the early Paleogene.
