Dolhești-1 is located 50 km south of Iași town (Iași County), in the northeast part of Romania. The sedimentary deposits exposed at Dolhești-1 belong to the last megacycle of the Moldavian Platform. Approximately one ton of sediment was screen-washed to collect the fossils using stable sieves. The most essential fossil elements identified in the locality were teeth of small mammals. More than 30 teeth were identified belonging to nine taxa: Hansdebruijnia erksinae, Neocricetodon progressus, Vasseuromys pannonicus, Myomimus dehmi, Hylopetes aff. hoeckarum, Sciuridae indet., Ochotona eximia, Schizogalerix cf. sarmaticum, and Crusafontina cf. kormosi, the rodents being the most diverse group. Based on the presence of Vasseuromys pannonicus, the age of the small mammal assemblage is interpreted as early Turolian (MN 11, Late Miocene). The genera Vasseuromys, Hylopetes, and Hansdebruijnia are reported for the first time in the Late Miocene of eastern Romania. This small mammal assemblage identified from Dolhești-1 represents the first early Turolian microvertebrate findings from the Late Miocene of Romania. The diversity of this faunal association represents an advantage for the interpretation of the paleoenvironment. Furthermore, the discovery of these taxa constitutes an important contribution to the study of small mammals from the Late Miocene of the Eastern Carpathians Foreland, adding new data about Turolian localities in Eastern Europe.

Dolhești-1位于罗马尼亚东北部Iași镇（Iași县）以南50公里处。在Dolhești-1暴露的沉积矿床属于摩尔达维亚地台的最后一个巨旋回。大约一吨的沉积物被筛洗，用稳定的筛子收集化石。在当地发现的最重要的化石元素是小型哺乳动物的牙齿。鉴定出的牙齿30余颗，隶属于9个分类群：Hansdebruijnia erksinae、Neocricetodon progressus、vasseurromys pannonicus、Myomimus dehmi、Hylopetes affer hoeckarum、Sciuridae indet。， Ochotona eximia, Schizogalerix c.s armaticum和Crusafontina c.s ormosi，这些啮齿动物是最多样化的群体。基于vasseurromys pannonicus的存在，该小型哺乳动物组合的时代被解释为晚中新世的早图罗纪（MN 11）。在罗马尼亚东部晚中新世首次报道了vasseurromys属、Hylopetes属和Hansdebruijnia属。在Dolhești-1上发现的这个小型哺乳动物组合代表了罗马尼亚晚中新世发现的第一个早期图罗利安微脊椎动物。这种动物群组合的多样性为解释古环境提供了有利条件。此外，这些分类群的发现对研究晚中新世东喀尔巴阡山脉前陆的小型哺乳动物有重要贡献，增加了关于东欧图罗利亚地区的新数据。

El Olivo Cave (Llanera, Asturias, Spain) is a small karst cave within the Aboño River watershed. It holds a significant archaeological and paleontological record dating from the Middle and late Upper Paleolithic, featuring several lithic artifacts and faunal remains in each archaeological level. The study of the faunal remains reveals a high representation of ungulates, with Cervus elaphus and Equus ferus being the main ones. Carnivores are also represented by diverse species such as Vulpes vulpes and Canis lupus, among others. The taphonomic analysis evidenced the presence of human activity, accompanied by a significant incidence of tooth marks across all stratigraphic units and water-related processes in the lower part of the sequence. During this temporal range, there were faunal accumulations of anthropogenic origin altered by the action of other agents, especially carnivores. A diverse array of carnivore used the same space and taking advanced of the anthropogenic residues as scavengers. Moreover, we suggest a commensal synanthropic behavior exhibited by foxes. Consequently, El Olivo Cave is an illustrative case to explore the carnivore action in levels with human presence, something unusual at the late Upper Paleolithic sites in Northern Iberia.

El Olivo洞穴（西班牙阿斯图里亚斯的Llanera）是Aboño河流域的一个小喀斯特洞穴。它拥有重要的考古和古生物记录，可以追溯到旧石器时代中晚期，在每个考古水平上都有一些石器文物和动物遗骸。对动物遗骸的研究表明，有蹄类动物的代表性很高，鹿和马是主要的动物。食肉动物也以不同的物种为代表，如Vulpes Vulpes和Canis lupus等。地形学分析证明了人类活动的存在，伴随着齿印在所有地层单位和序列下部与水有关的过程的显著发生。在此时间范围内，有人为起源的动物聚集被其他因素，特别是食肉动物的作用所改变。各种各样的食肉动物利用同样的空间，并以人类的残留物为食腐动物。此外，我们认为狐狸表现出一种共生的行为。因此，在伊比利亚北部旧石器时代晚期的遗址中，El Olivo洞穴是探索人类存在水平的食肉动物行为的一个说明性案例。

The Orce Basin Archaeological Zone (OBAZ; Granada, Spain) is well known because it contains some of the most important Early Pleistocene archaeo-palaeontological sites for understanding the earliest human settlement in the westernmost part of Eurasia and its ecological context. Among those are Venta Micena (VM), Barranco León (BL) and Fuente Nueva 3 (FN3). The role played by the extinct Pachycrocuta brevirostris present at the OBAZ sites has long been recognised in the literature. However, little or nothing is known about the agency of the other documented carnivore species. Nevertheless, the development of technologies such as 3D modelling, geometric morphometrics, robust data modelling and artificial intelligence algorithms makes it possible to characterise a type of tooth mark (pits) and its assignment to a taxon. Moreover, such a combination of methodologies allows us to infer novel aspects related to the behaviour of carnivores, to establish interpretative differentiation between the carnivore agents at VM3 and BL, to point to the interactions among them and with Homo, and to review some proposals on the first human dispersal outside Africa.

鄂西盆地考古区；格拉纳达（西班牙）因其包含一些最重要的早更新世考古古生物遗址而闻名，这些遗址有助于了解欧亚大陆最西端最早的人类定居点及其生态环境。其中包括Venta Micena （VM）、Barranco León （BL）和Fuente Nueva 3 （FN3）。在OBAZ遗址中发现的已灭绝的Pachycrocuta brevirostris所扮演的角色早已在文献中得到认可。然而，对其他有记录的食肉动物物种的作用知之甚少。然而，3D建模、几何形态计量学、稳健数据建模和人工智能算法等技术的发展，使得描述一种牙印（坑）及其分类单元的特征成为可能。此外，这种方法的结合使我们能够推断出与食肉动物行为有关的新方面，建立VM3和BL食肉动物代理人之间的解释性区分，指出它们之间以及与人属的相互作用，并回顾一些关于人类首次向非洲以外扩散的建议。

The type material of Bumbudendron is reviewed in the light of current knowledge about fossil lycophytes. The bark is characterized having cushions with an infrafoliar bladder and a ligule. The variation in leaf bases and leaf scars and their presence may not only depend on the plant’s age or position on the stem, but also the plant’s preservation. The diagnosis of the genus is emended to include the presence of a ligule and a ligule pit in sterile and fertile leaves, the presence or absence of a preserved leaf scar, and variations in size and shape of the cushions resulting from preservation. Bumbudendron nitidum is here regarded as a synonym of B. millanii, the latter name having priority. In this concept, genus Bumbudendron comprises five species: B. paganzianum and B. millanii (Carboniferous of Argentina and Brazil), B. versiforme (Carboniferous and Lower Permian of Argentina and Uruguay), B. patagonicum (Permian of Argentina), and B. peruvianum (Lower Carboniferous of Peru). A review of the species of lycophytes from India, Niger, Ghana, and Egypt is suggested to determine whether they are assignable to Bumbudendron, and thus to define the geographic range of this genus.

结合目前对石松类化石的认识，综述了大花楸属植物的类型材料。树皮的特征是具有具有叶下膀胱和舌叶的软垫。叶基和叶痕的变化及其存在可能不仅与植物的年龄或在茎上的位置有关，而且与植物的保存有关。对该属的诊断进行了修订，以包括在不育和可育叶片中舌形和舌形坑的存在，保存的叶疤的存在或不存在，以及由于保存而产生的垫的大小和形状的变化。Bumbudendron nitidum在这里被认为是B. millanii的同义词，后者的名字具有优先权。在这个概念中，Bumbudendron属包括五个物种：B. paganzianum和B. millanii（阿根廷和巴西石炭纪），B. versiformme（阿根廷和乌拉圭石炭纪和下二叠纪），B. patagonicum（阿根廷二叠纪）和B. peruvianum（秘鲁下石炭纪）。本文建议对来自印度、尼日尔、加纳和埃及的石松属植物的种类进行综述，以确定它们是否可归属于Bumbudendron，从而确定该属的地理范围。

In this paper, we present the remains of a single dhole discovered in three Late Pleistocene levels (Cono Posterior sector) of Llonin Cave, in Asturias (Spain). Said remains consist of the partial skeleton of an adult individual, showing small-sized dentition with a high degree of hypercarnivorism, typical of populations with derived traits from the Late Pleistocene in Europe. Morphometric analysis of the bone assemblage reveals that it belongs to the subspecies Cuon alpinus europaeus (Bourguignat, 1868). A direct dating on a dhole bone has provided a date of 29,231 ± 387 BP and confirms its archaeological stratigraphic position associated with the Gravettian phase of the site. The taphonomic history of the dhole assemblage and their spatial distribution provides information about the interaction processes and cave occupation dynamics by these canids and by prehistoric human groups.

The Epivillafranchian (1.2 to 0.8 Ma) fossil vertebrate assemblages of Portugal are extremely poorly known compared with to those from the eastern half of Iberia. We review material from one of the two localities of this age previously known in Portugal, Algoz, and present a new microvertebrate locality, Santa Margarida. Both localities are situated in Algarve (South Portugal). The fauna of Algoz includes Hippopotamus antiquus, Eucladoceros sp., Metacervocerus rhenanus and an indeterminate leporid. There are remains of at least two individuals of each deer species from Algoz, although most of the remains are from the same juvenile individual of Eucladoceros sp., about 6 months old. The age of Algoz is determined to be ∼1.2 Ma given the combination of species and their biometrical and morphological characters. Santa Margarida has at least ten species of microvertebrates: Lacertidae indet., Crocidura sp., Sorex sp., Oryctolagus cf. cuniculus, Eliomys cf. quercinus, Apodemus cf. sylvaticus, Allocricetus bursae, Victoriamys chalinei, Iberomys huescarensis, and Iberomys brecciensis. This is the first occurrence of Victoriamys chalinei and Iberomys huescarensis –two vole species typical from the Early Pleistocene – in Portugal. Santa Margarida is younger than Algoz, ranging between ∼0.9 and ∼0.6 Ma, which means that the Early-Middle Pleistocene transition could be represented by this locality.

与伊比利亚东半部相比，葡萄牙的Epivillafranchian（1.2至0.8 Ma）化石脊椎动物组合极为鲜为人知。我们回顾了这个时代在葡萄牙已知的两个地点之一的材料，阿尔戈兹，并提出了一个新的微脊椎动物地点，圣玛格丽达。这两个地方都位于阿尔加维（葡萄牙南部）。阿尔戈兹的动物群包括古河马、Eucladoceros sp.、meacervocerus rhenanus和一种不确定的lepora。在阿尔戈兹，每个鹿种至少有两个个体的遗骸，尽管大多数遗骸来自于大约6个月大的Eucladoceros sp.的同一幼年个体。根据物种组合及其生物特征和形态特征，确定Algoz的年龄为~ 1.2 Ma。圣玛格丽达至少有十种微型脊椎动物：乳虫科。、长尾鳄、长尾鳄、长尾鳄、长尾鳄、森林姬鼠、布氏白腹鳄、白尾鳄、黑尾鳄、白尾鳄。这是葡萄牙首次发现早更新世典型的两种田鼠——维多利亚鼠（Victoriamys chalinei）和伊比利亚鼠（Iberomys huescarensis）。Santa Margarida比Algoz更年轻，在~ 0.9 ~ ~ 0.6 Ma之间，这意味着该地区可以代表早-中更新世的转变。

Pie de Vaca is a late Cenozoic site located in the municipality of Tepexi de Rodríguez, Puebla, Mexico. It is known for its ichnofossil record including footprints of camelids, carnivores, and peccaries, as well as the taphoglyph of an almost complete flamingo skeleton. This fossil specimen was previously identified as Phoenicopterus stocki, a small extinct species, through linear osteometric comparisons of the tibiotarsus. This study presents new data on the morphological features of the taphoglyph skull impression. The extant genera Phoenicopterus, Phoenicoparrus, and Phoeniconaias differ in the morphology and size of the skulls. 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 Phoeniconaias minor and Phoenicopterus minutus, and more similar to Phoenicopterus ruber. The analysis revealed previously unknown characteristics of the taphoglyph and refutes its previous identification as the extinct species Phoenicopterus stocki. 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. However, further research remains necessary to establish its connections with extinct and extant phenonicopterids.

Pie de Vaca是位于墨西哥普埃布拉省Tepexi de Rodríguez市的一个晚新生代遗址。它以其鱼类化石记录而闻名，包括骆驼、食肉动物和物种的足迹，以及一具几乎完整的火烈鸟骨架的象形文字。这个化石标本以前被确定为腓尼基，一种小型灭绝物种，通过对胫跗骨的线性骨测量比较。本研究提供了关于象形颅骨印痕的形态学特征的新数据。现存的凤蝶属、凤蝶属和凤凰属在头骨的形态和大小上有所不同。与那些属相比，分析的化石标本显示出一个小脑袋和一个独特的颅骨形状。结果证实该象形文字属于一种小型斑翅类的成虫。基于远端深度与远端宽度之比对胫跗骨的二维形态测量比较表明，该触雕比Phoeniconaias minor和Phoenicopterus minutus更大，与rubber腓翼更相似。这一分析揭示了该象形文字以前不为人知的特征，并反驳了此前将其认定为已灭绝物种stocki腓翼龙的说法。该标本似乎是一只小型成年火烈鸟，但它不同于已知的现存属。这些发现证实了在北美洲和墨西哥晚新生代存在一群小型火烈鸟，其中最完整的标本是Pie de Vaca的象形文字。然而，还需要进一步的研究来确定其与已灭绝和现存的翅翅类的联系。

The Chicxulub impact and Deccan volcanism have long been considered opposing factors to explain the changes observed across the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary (KPB). Although the geologically instantaneous effects of the Chicxulub impact better explain the KPB catastrophic mass extinction, refinement of geochemical and micropaleontological proxies contributes to assessing the actual role of the Deccan volcanism in environmental changes across the KPB. 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 δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C disturbances, mercury enrichments, and blooms of triserial guembelitriids and aberrant planktic foraminifera. The KPB, Dan-C2 and LC29n events, dated at 66.0, 65.8–65.7 and 65.47–65.41 Ma, respectively, have been recognized in all Tethyan and Atlantic localities, but only the KPB in the Pacific. Multiproxy analysis suggests that volcanic activity of the Deccan Traps did not have a relevant role in the aforementioned events, but contributed to environmental stress in the first 10 kyr of the Danian, and between ∼70 and 200 kyr after the KPB.

希克苏鲁伯撞击和德干火山作用一直被认为是解释白垩纪/古近纪边界（KPB）变化的对立因素。虽然希克苏鲁伯撞击的地质瞬时效应更好地解释了KPB灾难性大灭绝，但精细的地球化学和微古生物代用指标有助于评估德干火山作用在整个KPB环境变化中的实际作用。此外，旋回地层学正被用于评估轨道强迫对气候的作用，并改进年龄模式。本文从全球角度评价了KPB （66.100-65.350 Ma）的气候和环境变化，探讨了来自太平洋、大西洋和特提斯领域的几个代用指标：大量δ18O和δ13C扰动、汞富集、三系guembelitriids和异常浮游有孔虫的大量繁殖。在特提斯和大西洋地区均发现了66.0、65.8 ~ 65.7和65.47 ~ 65.41 Ma的KPB、Dan-C2和LC29n事件，但仅在太平洋地区发现了KPB事件。多代理分析表明，德干圈盖的火山活动在上述事件中没有相关作用，但在大年纪前10 kyr和KPB后~ 70 ~ 200 kyr期间对环境压力有贡献。

The study of cold-adapted faunas in Iberia is of great interest to palaeontologists because this peninsula represents the southernmost limit of the distribution in Western Europe of species such as mammoth, reindeer and woolly rhinoceros. Additionally, the direct dating of these palaeontological assemblages can provide important information regarding the palaeoecology of Palaeolithic humans. 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. This new evidence contributes to the existing records from other sites, such as Ekain and Mainea, suggesting severe climatic pulses during the transition from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic, which coincides with a complex pattern of Neandertal extinction and their replacement by modern humans.

对伊比利亚适应寒冷的动物群的研究对古生物学家来说非常有兴趣，因为这个半岛代表了猛犸象、驯鹿和长毛犀牛等物种在西欧分布的最南端。此外，这些古生物组合的直接测年可以为旧石器时代人类的古生态学提供重要信息。在这项研究中，我们研究了从Baio洞穴（伊比利亚北部Zestoa）的底部恢复的化石组合，其中包括冷适应物种的遗骸。这个地点发现了一个包括食草动物、食肉动物和少量啮齿动物的组合。我们对一头驯鹿和一头马鹿的遗骸进行了放射性碳定年，得出的年代与该地区的特尔佩隆纪和奥里尼亚纪晚期的活动相一致，表明了历时性的积累。埋藏学观察表明，食肉动物是主要的积累媒介，人类的贡献很小，另外一些遗骸的积累可能是由于自然原因和/或洞穴作为天然陷阱。这一新证据有助于其他地点的现有记录，如埃凯恩和Mainea，表明从旧石器时代中期过渡到旧石器时代晚期的严重气候脉冲，这与尼安德特人灭绝并被现代人取代的复杂模式相吻合。
