Strengthening Western Gondwanan correlations: A Brazilian Dicynodont (Synapsida, Anomodontia) in the Middle Triassic of Namibia

Terrestrial Middle Triassic strata occur throughout continental Africa and are particularly well exposed in South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Namibia. The youngest age for all these African deposits is widely accepted as early Middle Triassic (Anisian). Fossils collected recently from the uppermos...

520 3 |a Terrestrial Middle Triassic strata occur throughout continental Africa and are particularly well exposed in South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Namibia. The youngest age for all these African deposits is widely accepted as early Middle Triassic (Anisian). Fossils collected recently from the uppermost strata of the upper Omingonde Formation in Namibia highlighted the presence of Chiniquodon, a carnivorous cynodont previously only found in Ladinian-Carnian aged rocks of South America. In addition, work in progress indicates that a large archosaur, originally reported as Erythrosuchus, also discovered from levels close to the top of this unit, is in fact a rauisuchian, a group of archosaurs well known from Ladinian-Carnian beds of southern South America. Here we present the first record of the tuskless dicynodont Stahleckeria potens from the top of the upper Omingonde Formation in central Namibia. This taxon was up until now only known from the Ladinian Dinodontosaurus Assemblage Zone of the Santa Maria Formation in southern Brazil. Thus, compelling evidence for a Ladinian age for the upper levels of the upper Omingonde Formation is provided by two therapsid and one archosaur taxa. The tetrapod fauna of the upper Omingonde Formation partially fills the gap of the well-documented hiatus (Ladinian gap), prevalent throughout the Karoo basins of south and central Africa. The presence of the same therapsid taxa in the Namibian Waterberg Basin and the Paraná Basin of Brazil during Middle Triassic suggests that these basins were biogeographically linked through a series of interconnecting lowlands, with no major ecological, climatic and/or physical barriers. © 2012 International Association for Gondwana Research.  |l eng

Access to the paleontological collection of the Institut of Geosciences, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen and information about specimen numbers was provided by Philipe Havlik. We are especially grateful to Reinhold Strobel (Otjihaenamaparero Dinosaur Tracksite) for his generosity and genuine interest in our research. Many thanks to Georgina Farrell from Iziko SA Museum for preparing the specimen studied here, and to Sifelani Jirah and Charlton Dube from the Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research for fossil preparation of additional material from Namibia. The Palaeontological Trust (PAST, Johannesburg) financed the 2010 field-trip. FA and RMHS were funded by the National Research Foundation, South Africa and CAM by UBA ( UBACyT 2011–728 ) and CONICET ( PIP 2012–709 ), Argentina. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the Bi-national Cooperation project between South Africa (DST to Bruce Rubidge) and Argentina (MINCYT to CAM) for travel funds. This is contribution R-69 to the Instituto de Estudios Andinos Don Pablo Groeber (IDEAN).
