The fossil specimen analyzed exhibits a small head and a distinct cranial shape when compared to those genera. The results confirm that the taphoglyph belongs to an adult of a small phenicopterid. The two-dimensional morphometric comparisons of the tibiotarsus based on the ratio of distal depth to distal width shows that the taphoglyph is larger than <em>Phoeniconaias minor</em> and <em>Phoenicopterus minutus</em>, and more similar to <em>Phoenicopterus ruber</em>. The analysis revealed previously unknown characteristics of the taphoglyph and refutes its previous identification as the extinct species <em>Phoenicopterus stocki.</em> The specimen appears to be a small adult flamingo, but it differs from known extant genera. These findings confirm the presence of a group of small flamingos in the late Cenozoic of North America and Mexico, with the most complete specimen being the taphoglyph of Pie de Vaca.

Furthermore, cyclostratigraphy is being used to evaluate the role of orbital forcing on climate, and to refine age models. In this paper, we evaluate the climate and environmental changes across the KPB (66.100–65.350 Ma) from a global perspective, exploring several proxies from the Pacific, Atlantic and Tethyan realms: bulk δ<sup>18</sup>O and δ<sup>13</sup>C disturbances, mercury enrichments, and blooms of triserial guembelitriids and aberrant planktic foraminifera.

In this study, we examine the fossil assemblage recovered from the floor of the Baio cave (Zestoa, northern Iberia), which includes the remains of cold-adapted species. This site has yielded an assemblage that includes herbivores, carnivores and a small number of rodents. Our radiocarbon dating of the remains of a reindeer and a red deer yielded chronologies consistent with the Châtelperronian and Late Aurignacian occupations in the area, indicating a diachronic accumulation. Taphonomic observations suggest carnivores as being the main accumulation agents, with a minimal human contribution, along with the probable accumulation of some remains due to natural causes and/or the cave acting as a natural trap.
