Kangaroos and kin (Macropodiformes) are themost conspicuous elements of the Australasianmarsupial fauna. The approximately 70 living species can be divided into three families: (1) Hypsiprymnodontidae (themusky rat kangaroo); (2) Potoroidae (potoroos and bettongs); and (3) Macropodidae (larger kangaroos, wallabies, banded hare wallaby and pademelons). Here we examine macropodiform relationships...

The Cenozoic succession of the East Pisco Basin preserves sedimentary record several episodes deformation forearc crust along Peruvian margin. 1:50,000 scale geological map presented here encompasses an area about 1,000 km2 lying astride Ica River, and contributes to our understanding timing mode basin filling deformation. Our novel two-fold megasequence framework provides a sound basis for est...
