Nuevos registros fósiles de vertebrados terrestres para Las Llanadas, Sancti Spíritus, Cuba

The paleontological deposit Las Llanadas is a spring rich in organic matter. At the beginning of the 20th century, studies of the site reports fossil materials of sloths, crocodiles, tortoises, and hutias. Two species of sloths, Acratocnus antillensis and Neocnus gliriformis, were new to science. In the present work, we present new fossil records of Peltophryne empusus, Osteopilus septentrionalis (anurans), Cyclura nubila (reptile), Tyto alba, Buteogallus borrasi (birds), and Boromys ofella (mammal). Recent bones of Lithobates catesbeianus and Capromys pilorides were found among the fossils. Of 2030 pieces, only 3% could be identified taxonomically, due to the high level of fragmentation.
