Abstract
Santiago Roth was a Swiss fossil finder, naturalist, and paleontologist that emigrated to Argentina in 1866. His work largely influenced the discipline in the country at the end of the twentieth century, particularly the stratigraphy of the Pampean region. Some of his collections of Pampean fossils were sold to museums and private collectors in Europe and were accompanied by elaborated catalogues. Fossils in the Roth's catalogues N° 2 and 3 are housed today in the Natural History Museum of Denmark, fossils from catalogues N° 4 to 6, were sold to Swiss museums, with Catalogue N° 5 currently housed at the Department of Paleontology, Universität Zürich. Here, we provide a general framework on the stratigraphy from the Roth's Pampean fossil sites, summarize the history of the Pampean fossils in Europe originally collected by Roth, and provide historical and curatorial details of the Roth's collection at the Department of Paleontology, Universität Zürich.

Santiago Roth是一位瑞士化石发现者、博物学家和古生物学家,于1866年移民到阿根廷。他的工作在很大程度上影响了20世纪末该国的学科,特别是潘潘地区的地层学。他的一些潘潘化石收藏被卖给了欧洲的博物馆和私人收藏家,并附有详细的目录。Roth目录N°2和3中的化石今天存放在丹麦自然历史博物馆,目录N°4至6中的化石被出售给瑞士博物馆,其中目录N°5目前存放在苏黎世大学古生物学系。在这里,我们提供了一个关于罗斯潘潘化石遗址地层学的一般框架,总结了罗斯最初收集的欧洲潘潘化石的历史,并提供了古生物学系罗斯收藏的历史和策展细节,苏黎世大学。补充信息:在线版本包含补充材料,可访问10.1186/s13358-023-00283-5。
期刊介绍:
The Swiss Journal of Palaeontology publishes original research and review articles of interest to the international community in the fields of palaeontology, taxonomy and systematics, while recognising at the same time the importance of documenting high-quality palaeontological data in a regional context. Palaeobiology in combination with alpha taxonomy is a core topic of the journal.
Submitted papers should have an appeal as wide as possible, directed towards an international readership. Contributions should not have been simultaneously submitted elsewhere, and the overlap of content between related articles should be minimal. Duplications of text and the use of previously published illustrations without adequate citation are unacceptable. If a manuscript has two or more authors, both or all have to sign to confirm they all were involved in the work and have agreed to its submission. The preferred manuscript language is UK English, but consistently used US English is also acceptable. We encourage the publication of proceedings of international meetings as well as special thematic issues. Short contributions and book reviews are also accepted.
An international editorial team as well as guest editors guarantee that the thematic issues as well as all articles in regular issues are peer-reviewed and meet the highest standards.
