Study of the Tertiary and Quaternary faunas of Ecuador

Description

A very limited number of Neogene sites in Ecuador host a rich and spectacular micro- and macrovertebrate fauna (Eocene cetaceans, Pleistocene megafauna). The data from these sites should allow us to delve deeper into the origins of cetaceans and the extinction of the South American megafauna.
