In (A) the number of genera for each family is indicated next to the name between brackets.In (C) the function geom_smooth from the R package ggplot v.3.4, method = loess and span = 0.5 was used.In (B) and (C) apart from the standard Periods, Epochs, and Ages below, the SALMAs are indicated in grey boxes crossing the plots. The Tiupampan and Peligran SALMAs and the Bonaerian and Lujanian SALMAs are taken as only two temporal units instead of four for the plots. The data on taxa and occurrences were taken from Supporting information, Table S1, and the temporal information on SALMAs were taken from Supporting information, File S6. Note that the two genera of ‘amilnedwarsids’ were not included in this plot.Note that in the Discussion section, we proposed to redefine the families Anisolambdidae and Sparnotheriodontidae as the subfamilies Anisolambdinae and Sparnotheriodontinae of the family Anisolambdidae.

Therefore, attention must be given when reading about the last two premolars in the main text. The benefit of using the ancestral placental dental formula is to make easier homologous comparisons between different therians, and is useful for transposing the anatomical information presented in this study into larger-scale projects that include older members of Theria that retain P3/p3.

Without an earlier notoungulate showing a less derived condition, it is difficult to assess these hypotheses.

+). In the case of SANUs and ‘condylarths’, we observed that the majority of dental structures were consistent between the first and second molar in the upper and lower series (M1/m1 and M2/m2), showing only minor variations. Therefore, to reduce the weight in the analyses of these clearly correlated tooth positions, M1/ m1 and M2/m2 were grouped as M1–M2/m1–m2 characters. For the few anatomical differences between M1/m1 and M2/ m2, these features were scored as polymorphic in the matrix. The remainder of the teeth loci were treated with a separate set of characters because merging them would most likely reduce relevant anatomical information for resolving the litoptern phylogeny. In addition, we observed in SANUs and ‘condylarths’ that the height of some cristae/cristids of certain tooth positions was consistently correlated with the height of contiguous cristae/cristids (e.g., entocristid, postcristid, hypocristid). In those cases, we considered a single character for describing the overall height of the correlated cristae/cristids (e.g., Character 394: m1–m2 talonid cristids, height) to reduce the weight in the analyses of these correlated structures.

+2020). This means that the temporal intervals may or may not correspond with the whole temporal interval between the first appearance datum (FAD) and last appearance datum (LAD) of a particular species, as the ages of specimens that we could not examine were excluded. In cases in which there was uncertainty about the stratigraphic location of a specific specimen (e.g., exact location not reported), this uncertainty was accounted for by incorporating the whole known temporal interval for that taxon (between the FAD and LAD). In terms of the exact ages used for each taxon, priority was given to specific radiometric dates of the strata associated with the scored specimens. However, in most cases, the age of a taxon is estimated from faunal correlations from sites with radiometric dates available and associated broadly with one or more SALMAs.

+Preliminary results of the tip-dated Bayesian analyses showed that the node for the common ancestor of SANUs was potentially too old considering the fossil evidence, being dated around 68–69 Mya within the Maastrichtian (latest Cretaceous). This is not impossible and it corresponds well with recent molecular studies that have posited that interordinal origination and diversification of Placentalia occurred prior to the K/Pg boundary (long fuse model of placental diversification; Springer

+2017). However, most workers consider that SANUs arrived to South America in the earliest Palaeocene (e.g., Reguero and Goin 2021), considering that well-sampled Maastrichtian fossil localities in South America do not have any SANU or other placental representatives (Rougier

+2021). Therefore, it might be expected that the age of their common ancestor is between the K/Pg boundary and the earliest Palaeocene, particularly if they are monophyletic. This is consistent with the fact that from the Early Eocene, different SANU orders diversified, showing an enormous disparity (Croft

+2020). Accordingly, we repeated the analyses constraining the age of the common ancestor of SANUs between 65.075 and 66 Mya, the minimum being the oldest age estimated for the kollpaniines (Muizon and Ladevèze 2020) and the maximum the age of the K/Pg boundary. For these new analyses, we tried four different approaches: (i) using the H1 matrix with no constraints on the topology, (ii) using the H2 matrix with no constraints on the topology, (iii) using the H1 matrix constraining the topology to be the same as in in the H1 undated tree, and (iv) using the H2 matrix constraining the topology to be the same as in the H2 undated tree. The last two approaches (iii and iv) were conducted to limit the influence of the fossil ages in the topology. This is because it is still an open question whether it is desirable to allow the age of fossils to have an influence on the topology of the tree (O’Reilly

+2015), particularly in cases of rapid diversification in which the ages of many taxa are similar. Therefore, we used soft constraints in all cases except for the SANU common ancestor node in which we used a hard constraint because it is required by MrBayes to time-calibrate a specific node. The remainder of the parameters of the analyses were exactly the same as the other tip-dated Bayesian analyses (see above).

+. Cifelli (1983a)considered referred specimens of these taxa to be too fragmentary to determine a clear affinity,but suggested the referred specimens represent deciduous teeth of a henricosborniid notoungulate based on the presence of a metaconule-derived crest connecting with the ectoloph wall. Indeed, probably due to their limited fossil record, thus far no members of this family have ever been included in a phylogenetic analysis.

In MGUWr 3902 and GPIH 5194c there appeared to be no bony separation between the neural canal and the internal cavity for most of the length of the centrum. Because no fragments of broken bone were present anywhere inside of the neural canal or the internal cavity of the centrum, and this condition was present in several specimens approximately in the same area, it appears not to be an artifact of preservation.

The relative volume occupied by the trabeculae within the centra increased caudally, especially along the neck-torso transition. In the middle cervicals the centrum was nearly devoid of trabecular bone, but this changed within the more posterior vertebrae, with the last two cervicals and the dorsals exhibiting sparse trabeculae occupying the space between the articular discs. The 10th and 11th vertebrae were generally similar in their anatomy to the middle cervicals, with their internal cavities being surrounded by a dense cortex, forming a tube-like structure (

Congruently to what could be observed in the 12th and 13th cervical vertebrae, the internal portion of the centrum was composed of sparsely distributed trabeculae containing a large number of cavities, some of which opened to the neural canal through its floor.

+). The core of the neural spine in larger specimens was highly remodelled with longitudinally oriented secondary osteons. Simple primary vascular canals extended radially in the middle part of the vertebrae, but became more longitudinally oriented, larger, and less organized in the anteroposteriorly terminal portions. The number of vascular canals was also smaller in the more compact sections of the cortex within a single cross section.
