Warmer temperatures and higher sea level than today characterized the Last Interglacial interval [Pleistocene, 128 to 116 thousand years ago (ka)]. This period is a remarkable deep-time analog for temperature and sea-level conditions as projected for 2100 AD, yet there has been no evidence of fossil assemblages in the equatorial Atlantic. Here, we report foraminifer, metazoan (mollusks, bony fish, bryozoans, decapods, and sharks among others), and plant communities of coastal tropical marine and mangrove affinities, dating precisely from a ca. 130 to 115 ka time interval near the Equator, at Kourou, in French Guiana. These communities include ca. 230 recent species, some being endangered today and/or first recorded as fossils. The hyperdiverse Kourou mollusk assemblage suggests stronger affinities between Guianese and Caribbean coastal waters by the Last Interglacial than today, questioning the structuring role of the Amazon Plume on tropical Western Atlantic communities at the time. Grassland-dominated pollen, phytoliths, and charcoals from younger deposits in the same sections attest to a marine retreat and dryer conditions during the onset of the last glacial (ca. 110 to 50 ka), with a savanna-dominated landscape and episodes of fire. Charcoals from the last millennia suggest human presence in a mosaic of modern-like continental habitats. Our results provide key information about the ecology and biogeography of pristine Pleistocene tropical coastal ecosystems, especially relevant regarding the-widely anthropogenic- ongoing global warming.

The formation of the Isthmus of Panama stands as one of the greatest natural events of the Cenozoic, driving profound biotic transformations on land and in the oceans. Some recent studies suggest that the Isthmus formed many millions of years earlier than the widely recognized age of approximately 3 million years ago (Ma), a result that if true would revolutionize our understanding of environmental, ecological, and evolutionary change across the Americas. To bring clarity to the question of when the Isthmus of Panama formed, we provide an exhaustive review and reanalysis of geological, paleontological, and molecular records. These independent lines of evidence converge upon a cohesive narrative of gradually emerging land and constricting seaways, with formation of the Isthmus of Panama sensu stricto around 2.8 Ma. The evidence used to support an older isthmus is inconclusive, and we caution against the uncritical acceptance of an isthmus before the Pliocene.

Oxydoras sp. (Fig. 3 C1-C3). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Incomplete neurocranium (ULA-1316). LOCALITY. — Villavieja Fm. LA-3 (fish bed) (seeFig.1B; Appendix 1). DESCRIPTION ULA-1316 is an incomplete neurocranium of 51 mm in length, preserving only the anterior section of the skull (Fig. 3 C1-C3), and is assigned here to Oxydoras. It preserves a complete mesethmoid bone clearly observable in both dorsal and ventral views. It has an elongate arrow-shape with a bifid anterior tip, and a convex profile in lateral view (Fig. 3 C1). In dorsal view, the anterior section of both right and left frontals and both right and left lateral ethmoids are articulated to the mesethmoid; the most proximal section of the anterior cranial fontanelle is also preserved (Fig. 3 C1). The ornamentation of the skull is not well defined, possibly as a result of erosion. In ventral view, the mesethmoid, vomer, remnants of what appear to be lateral ethmoids, and the parasphenoid are preserved (Fig. 3 C2). The vomer has an arrow-shaped anterior section and seems to have reduced anterolateral processes; its posterior section is elongated and narrow, being enclosed in the anterior bifid tip of the parasphenoid. REMARKS ULA-1316 possess a mesethmoid bone similar to those present in living and fossil representatives of Oxydoras, which can be differentiated from the mesethmoid bones of any other living (Birindelli 2014) or fossil (see Lundberg et al. 2010) species of doradid. The thorny catfish Oxydoras is represented by three extant species, Oxydoras niger (Valenciennes in Humboldt & Valenciennes, 1821), Oxydoras kneri Bleeker, 1862a, and Oxydoras sifontesi Fernández-Yépez, 1968, from the Amazon, Essequibo, Orinoco and Paraná basins. These species occur over mud in streams and lakes, but are also present in large rivers (Froese & Pauly 2022). The only fossil of Oxydoras known to date corresponds to an isolated mesethmoid bone from the Miocene of Peru illustrated by Lundberg et al. (2010). Although ULA-1316 resembles the skull of the extant O. niger (see Birindelli 2014; Prestes-Carneiro et al. 2019), and/ or the other two living species O. kneri and O. sifontesi, its incomplete and poor state of preservation make it difficult to associate this fossil specimen with any of these extant species. The skulls of the extant species of Oxydoras usually present well-defined ornamentation (see Birindelli 2014: fig. 25); in the case of ULA-1316, the ornamentation pattern is not well-defined or is absent, possibly as a consequence associated with taphonomic processes or erosion of the fossil during its exposure in the outcrop. Due to that, ULA-1316 is tentatively assigned to Oxydoras sp. This fossil specimen from the middle Miocene of the Honda Group, and the isolated mesethmoid bone from the Miocene (Lundberg et al. 2010), are to date the only known fossils of Oxydoras., Published as part of Carrillo-Briceño, Jorge D., Mora-Rojas, Laura, Hendricks, Kimberly, Vanegas, Andrés & Aguilera, Orangel, 2023, New clues on the palaeodiversity of the middle Miocene freshwater ichthyofauna from the Tatacoa Desert, Colombia, pp. 327-351 in Geodiversitas 45 (10) on pages 335-336, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2023v45a10, http://zenodo.org/record/8056044, {"references":["BIRINDELLI J.

Phractocephalus sp. (Fig. 3 D-M). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Fourteen skull fragments (IGM-87- 314, -2221-f-a, -2382-b (no. 2), and VPPLT-223, 421(no. 2), 422 (no. 2), 742, 1128, 1272, 1282, 1432); a pectoral girdle (IGM-s/n), and 12 pectoral/dorsal fragmented spines (IGM-2285-c, ULA-44, and VPPLT-043 (no. 4), 417, 473, 474, 1092, 1478, 1482). LOCALITIES. — La Victoria Fm. Diomatal-Museo La Tormenta (VPPLT-1478, 1-482); Km-121 (VPPLT-043, 223, 742, 1128, 1432); Tatacoita (VPPLT-417, 421, 422, 470, 473, 474, 1092); San Nicolás (VPPLT-1272, 1282). — Villavieja Fm. Duke 46 (IGM-87-314); LA 2 (ULA-44). — Indeterminate Fm. Alrededor del Campamento de la Venta, Villa vieja (IGM-2382-h); Norte del Punto 16 (IGM-2221-h-a); NW del Campamento de la Venta, Villavieja (IGM-2285-c) (see Fig. 1B; Appendix 1). DESCRIPTION The dorsal surface of the skull, including the sphenotic, pterotic, and parieto-supraoccipital bones, has well-developed dorsal ornamentation characterized by dense, deep, and rounded pits surrounded by a thick and tall crest arranged in a mosaic (Fig. 3 D-I). The ornamentation in the frontal and the parieto-supraoccipital bones are characterized by elongated and parallel pits delimited by a stronger crest. These ornamentation patterns of elongated and parallel pits, gutter-like, are slightly interrupted at the middle part by changes in the ornamentation pattern that consist of disperse oval pits (Fig. 3 D). The postero-lateral laminar projections of the parieto-supraoccipital bone form a thick and strong arch on both sides. The external surface is densely ornamented with small pits irregularly arranged. However, the entire bone expansion is not complete, and the distal smooth edge is not preserved (Fig. 3 E-F). The ornamentation on the pterotic bone shows a pattern of parallel alignment of the pits. The largest pits are arranged in the medial region, and the minor ones are aligned in the outermost region of the bone (Fig. 3 G). The sphenotic has a stronger anastomosing ridge on the dorsal surface (Fig. 3 H). The pectoral girdle is robust with the posterior process of the cleithrum expanded in a thick laminar bone in a triangular-shape. The outer surface is densely ornamented with a series of pits arranged in oblique rows in most of the upper area, and pits in a random distribution on the lower area. Both, the anterior dorsal process and posterior dorsal process of the cleithrum are robust (Fig. 3J). The ornamentation in the pectoral spines form elongated, crossed and irregular crest without rounded or ovoid pits. The anterior edge has small acute spines oriented posteriorly and on the posterior edge the small spines are robust, and obtuse without a well-defined orientation (Fig. 3 K-M). REMARKS Phractocephalus is represented by the single extant species P. hemioliopterus. The fossil record of the genus includes † Phractocephalus nassi Lundberg & Aguilera, 2003, from the late Miocene Urumaco Fm in Venezuela, † Phractocephalus acreornatus Aguilera et al., 2008, from the late Miocene Solimões Fm in Brazil, and † Phractocephalus yaguaron Bogan & Agnolin, 2019, from late Miocene Ituzaingó Formation, Argentina. † Phractocephalus ivy Azpelicueta & Cione, 2016, from late the Miocene of Argentina was recently referred to the extant genus Steindachneridion Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1919 (see Bogan & Agnolín 2019). The skull bones of Phractocephalus from the Honda Group can be distinguished from those of extinct species by the stronger ornamentation pattern, density, and depth of the circular pits surrounded by thick crest arranged in a mosaic-like pattern vs. less skull ornamentation in † P. acreornatus and † P. nassi. Skull bones in † P. yaguaron are strongly ornamented with reticulating ridges and subcircular pits (see Azpelicueta & Cione 2016; Bogan & Agnolín 2019), a pattern that is relatively different from the specimens from the Honda Group, where ornamentation, especially in frontal and the parieto-supraoccipital bones, show continuous elongated and parallel pits (see Fig. 3 D-F). Lundberg (1997) described a partial mesethmoid bone and a fragmented pectoral-spine (Lundberg 1997: fig. 5.9A) from the Fish Bed locality as extant P. hemioliopterus; nevertheless, these materials were later referred to as too incomplete to assess their species status (Lundberg & Aguilera 2003). The ornamental pattern on specimens from the Honda Group shows clear differences from the skull ornamentation in the extant P. hemioliopterus (e.g., see skulls illustrated in Lundberg & Aguilera 2003; Aguilera et al. 2008; Bogan & Agnolín 2019). Based on the skull and pectoral/dorsal spine ornamentation, the Phractocephalus specimens from the Honda group is most closely related to † P. nassi. Nevertheless, by the fragmentary conditions of bones and the absence of well-preserved diagnostic elements to support an accurate diagnosis and description, we tentatively use an open nomenclature for the Phractocephalus specimens from the Honda Group. Phractocephalus hemioliopterus occurs in a broad range of habitats, from large rivers to flooded forests and lakes, with a wide distribution in the Orinoco and the Amazon (van der Sleen & Albert 2018). Recently, a reticulate nuchal plate attributed to Phractocephalus sp. was recorded from the middle Miocene Castilletes Formation in the Guajira Peninsula, northern Colombia (Ballen et al. 2021a), and this report, together with the other fossil Phractocephalus from northwestern Venezuela (Lundberg & Aguilera 2003) suggests a broader distribution of the genus during the Miocene and support ancient connections between trans-Andean and cis-Andean drainages. Other siluriforms taxa reported herein (Table 1) and in previous works (e.g., Lundberg 1997, 2005) for the Honda Group include Hoplosternum Gill, 1858 (Fig. 3 N-P), the loricariids cf. Acanthicus Agassiz, 1829 (Fig. 3U 1-U 2), and cf. Hypostomus Lacépède, 1803 (Fig. 3V 1-V 2), and the pimelodids Brachyplatystoma (Fig. 4A 1-B 2), and Pimelodus Lacépède, 1803 (Fig. 4C). The goliath catfish † Brachyplatystoma promagdalena Lundberg, 2005, was described from the Fish Bed layer.Tentatively we designate the siluriforms as the most diverse fish group of the Honda Group (Fig. 5). Other bony fishes reported from the Honda Group (see Table 1) includes cynodontids or “dogtooth characins” (Fig. 4E 1-F 2), “piranha-like” and “pacu” serrasalmids (Fig. 4G 1-M), dipnoids (Fig. 4D 1-D 2), and osteoglossiforms (Fig. 4N 1-N 2)., Published as part of Carrillo-Briceño, Jorge D., Mora-Rojas, Laura, Hendricks, Kimberly, Vanegas, Andrés & Aguilera, Orangel, 2023, New clues on the palaeodiversity of the middle Miocene freshwater ichthyofauna from the Tatacoa Desert, Colombia, pp. 327-351 in Geodiversitas 45 (10) on pages 336-338, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2023v45a10, http://zenodo.org/record/8056044, {"references":["LUNDBERG J.

cf. Astronotus sp. (Fig. 2 H1-H4). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Isolated dentary bone (VPPLT-668A) LOCALITY. — La Victoria Fm. Tatacoita (see Fig. 1 B; Appendix 1). DESCRIPTION VPPLT-668A is a short and high left dentary bone, 22 mm in length and missing the posterior part of the mandibular sensory canal and the coronoid process (Fig. 2 H1-H4). The dorsal margin is well preserved, but all teeth are missing. There are approximately six circular tooth implantation rows, with the first three from the outer border best defined (Fig. 2 H3). Enlarged bases characterize the outer tooth row, reaching up to twice the diameter of those bases of the other inner rows. The external face of the dentary has three well-developed foramina on the bony mandibular canal. The largest one is oval in shape (Fig. 2 H1) and corresponds with the foramen “f.5” referred by Casciotta & Arratia (1993). In the ventral section of the dentary, abundant small foramina can be observed. REMARKS Our comparison (based on osteological collections and literature review) suggests that VPPLT-668A is clearly different from other medium/large sizes South American cichlids such as Acaronia Myers, 1940, Aequidens Eigenmann & Bray, 1894, Caquetaia Fowler, 1945, Cichla Bloch & Schneider, 1801, Cichlasoma Swainson, 1839, Crenicichla Heckel, 1840, Geophagus Heckel, 1840, Retroculus Eigenmann & Bray, 1894, Satanoperca Günther, 1862, Symphysodon Heckel, 1840, and Uaru Heckel, 1840. The dentary shape and the pattern and size of the tooth implantation rows in VPPLT-668A resemble the jaw morphology of Astronotus (see Fig. 2 I1-I2). These are features that are “apparently” observed only in this genus; although this should be confirmed in the future with more detailed studies on cranial elements of the South American cichlids. Our osteological comparisons with specimens of Astronotus were restricted to Astronotus ocellatus (Agassiz, 1831). The genus Astronotus is represented by three extant species, Astronotus ocellatus, Astronotus crassipinnis (Heckel, 1840), and Astronotus mikoljii (Pérez-Lozano et al. 2022). The natural distribution of Astronotus includes the Amazon, Orinoco, upper Paraná, and French Guiana basins (Pérez-Lozano et al. 2022), with habitat preference of quiet shallow waters (van der Sleen & Albert 2018). Due to the state of preservation of VPPLT-668A, and the absence of more specimens with other diagnostic characters, we are unable to classify this fossil beyond cf. Astronotus sp. The presence of cf. Astronotus in the middle Miocene of the Honda Group represents the first fossil record for the genus. Neotropical cichlids, with at least 44 genera, constitute the third most speciose group of freshwater fishes in South America (van der Sleen & Albert 2018). Despite the high species richness, few studies based on comparative descriptions of cranial elements (e.g., dentaries, maxillary, and premaxillary bones) have been carried out (e.g., Casciotta & Arratia 1993). One of the problems added to the study of isolated fossil cichlid dentaries is that the morphology of dentary bone is similar among Neotropical cichlids (Casciotta & Arratia 1993). Nevertheless, morphological features can allow some tentative assignments as long as the comparisons are supported by diversity in comparative osteological material., Published as part of Carrillo-Briceño, Jorge D., Mora-Rojas, Laura, Hendricks, Kimberly, Vanegas, Andrés & Aguilera, Orangel, 2023, New clues on the palaeodiversity of the middle Miocene freshwater ichthyofauna from the Tatacoa Desert, Colombia, pp. 327-351 in Geodiversitas 45 (10) on page 334, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2023v45a10, http://zenodo.org/record/8056044, {"references":["CASCIOTTA J.

† Sciades maldonadonis n. sp. (Fig. 3 A1-A3) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: A20896FF-45B6-4E90-9A8C-22E9A791748E DIAGNOSIS. — The combination of extremely depressed lapillus otolith, regularly clam-shaped outline, sharp antero-medial projection, strongly arched dorsal margin anteriorly and oblique-straight posteriorly distinguish † Sciades maldonadonis n. sp. from extant Sciades species, extinct brackish and freshwater species (e.g., † Cantarius Aguilera et al., 2013b), and extant South American freshwater species (Chinchaysuyoa Marceniuk et al., 2019a, and Paragenidens Marceniuk et al., 2019a). TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype VPPLT-832. A complete lapillus otolith (Fig. 3 A1-A3), preserved length 20.94 mm, width 16.84 mm, thickness 7.08 mm. TYPE LOCALITY. — La Victoria Fm. Morrongo 1 (see Fig. 1 B; Appendix 1). DERIVATION OF NAME. — The species is named in honor of Dr Javier Alejandro Maldonado-Ocampo (1977-†2019), renowned Colombian ichthyologist who passed away on 2 March 2019 during an expedition to the Río Vaupés in Colombia. Javier dedicated more than twenty years to the study and conservation of the freshwater fish fauna of Colombia, including the Andes, Orinoco and Amazon basins. DESCRIPTION The lapillus otolith is clam-shaped with a semi-circular outline, very depressed dorso-ventrally, and with a sharp antero-medial projection (Fig. 3 A1, A2). The dorsal margin is strongly arched anteriorly and oblique-straight posteriorly. The ventral margin is strongly arched. The posterior margin forms an obtuse angle. The lateral profile is slightly biconvex. The pseudocauda and the mesial inward curvature are not well preserved. The umbo is located in the center of the dorsal surface. The lapillus length to width ratio: 1.2. Lapillus length to thickness ratio: 3.0. REMARKS VPPLT-832 is characterized by a typical Ariidae otolith morphology. The recognition of † Sciades maldonadonis n. sp. as a member of Sciades is based on its otolith morphology, which is characterized by the combination of extremely depressed dorsoventral shape and by the dorsal margin being strongly arched anteriorly, and oblique-straight posteriorly. This allows it to be differentiated from the other Sciades species (for comparative proposes see Aguilera et al. 2020: figs. 4.49-4.60; 6.9-6.12). Marceniuk et al. (2017) reviewed the genus Sciades and showed a strong morphological relationship between nominal genera Sciades and Ariopsis Gill, 1861. More than seven extant Sciades species are currently recognized (Froese & Pauly 2022). The age of diversification of modern species of Sciades is older than 9 Ma (including Sciades dowii Gill, 1863, from the Pacific), and the age of the Atlantic Sciades species is c. 6.7 Ma (4-8Ma) (Betancur-R.2009). † Sciades maldonadonis n. sp. came from a freshwater palaeoenvironment in the middle Miocene rocks of the Honda Group, associated with a wide diversity of freshwater fishes, crocodylians, snakes, lizards, turtles, and mammals (e.g., Kay et al. 1997; Carrillo et al. 2015; Cadena et al. 2019, 2020; Defler 2019). The ancestral form of freshwater catfish Ariidae otolith-based species from the western Amazon included † Cantarius nolfi Aguilera, Moraes-Santos, Costa, Ohe, Jaramillo & Nogueira, 2013b, and † Cantarius ohei Schwarzhans, Aguilera, Scheyer & Carrillo-Briceño, 2022, recorded from the Miocene Pebas wetland system at the Pebas Formation (Carrillo-Briceño et al. 2021b; Schwarzhans et al. 2022). In North, Central, and South America, six extant ariid species are primarily freshwater, including Chinchaysuyoa labiata Boulenger, 1898, Chinchaysuyoa ortegai Marceniuk, Marchena, Oliveira & Betancur-R, 2019a, Paragenidens grandoculis Steindachner, 1877, Paragenidens nelsoni Evermann & Goldsborough, 1902, Paragenidens izabalensis Hubbs & Miller, 1960, and Paragenidens usumacintae Betancur-R & Willink, 2007 (Marceniuk & Menezes 2007; Marceniuk et al. 2019a, b). On the other hand, fossil skull-based species of † Sciades latissimum Aguilera & Marceniuk, 2018, and † Sciades peregrinus Aguilera & Marceniuk, 2018 without preserved internal otolith, were described from the late Miocene Urumaco Fm, Venezuela, characterized by palaeoenvironments associated to a large palaeo-hydrographic system of the Orinoco/ Amazonas discharging into the proto-Caribbean Sea (Aguilera et al. 2020). Other ariid remains from the Honda Group include two isolated dorsal-spine fragments ornamented by rugose tuberculations, from the Duke 24 (see Lundberg 1997) and Mini Desierto localities (VPPLT-1108; Figs 1 B, 3 B1-B3). Sedimentary characteristics and the associated fauna from the Honda Group support that VPPLT-832 and the indeterminate ariid spines were from a freshwater palaeoenvironment.

cf. Cichla sp. (Fig. 2 J1-J3). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Isolated dentary bone (VPPLT-668B). LOCALITY. — La Victoria Fm. Tatacoita (see Fig. 1 B; Appendix 1). DESCRIPTION VPPLT-668B is an incomplete dentary bone of 16 mm in length, missing the posterior part of the mandibular sensory canal and the coronoid process (Fig. 2 J1-J2). The external face of the dentary preserves four well-developed foramina on the bony mandibular canal, the two smallest being located close to the dentary symphysis. All teeth are missing, and the preserved dorsal margin is characterized by six to seven circular tooth implantations rows of small size. REMARKS VPPLT-668B is easily distinguishable from VPPLT-668A assigned to cf. Astronotus. Our osteological comparisons suggest a close resemblance between VPPLT-668B and the dentaries of extant Cichla species (Fig. 2 K1-K3) than with those of Crenicichla or other medium/large sizes South American cichlids. Although VPPLT-668B is incomplete, its dentary shape and the pattern and size of the tooth implantations rows resemble the jaw morphology of Cichla species. However, due to the state of preservation of VPPLT-668B and the absence of more specimens, for now, we prefer to refer to this fossil as cf. Cichla sp. The genus Cichla, contains the largest cichlid of South America, and is represented by at least 15 species from the Amazon and Orinoco basins, as well as rivers of the Guianas (Froese & Pauly 2022). The extant species have a wide range of habitat preferences, including rivers and floodplain lakes (van der Sleen & Albert 2018). The presence of cf. Cichla in the middle Miocene of the Honda Group represents the first fossil record for the genus. From the Honda Group, Lundberg (1997) reported three premaxillaries, three dentaries, and two anguloarticular bones in fragmentary condition as indeterminate cichlids from the Fish Bed locality, suggesting a lack of morphological characters and relation to modern cichlids. Future work with more detailed anatomical comparisons on the specimens that Lundberg (1997) reported could support or contrast these assignments. Other new cichlid material reported herein includes an isolated anal spine (VPPLT-1164) coming from the Km 121 locality (Appendix 1). The spine is 18 mm in length, robust and elongated, with a sharp end at the apical section, and typical of the anal region (Fig. 2 L1-L2); nevertheless, taxonomic identification based on isolated spines is not possible., Published as part of Carrillo-Briceño, Jorge D., Mora-Rojas, Laura, Hendricks, Kimberly, Vanegas, Andrés & Aguilera, Orangel, 2023, New clues on the palaeodiversity of the middle Miocene freshwater ichthyofauna from the Tatacoa Desert, Colombia, pp. 327-351 in Geodiversitas 45 (10) on page 334, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2023v45a10, http://zenodo.org/record/8056044, {"references":["FROESE R. & PAULY D.
