Casamiquela y la Escuela Paleobatracológica Argentina Agnolin, Federico During 1956 and 1965 years the paleontologists Osvaldo A. Reig and Rodolfo M. Casamiquela published a series of contributions about fossil anurans that have a deep impact on the paleontological community. Their works included the description of a large diverse array of extinct South American anurans as well as, the oldest finding of anurans along the world. With this background, Reig and Casamiquela quizzed the main classificatory schemes of the epoch and even questioned the Holarcticistic paradigm for the distribution of living organisms. These authors were probably the first investigators outside “scientific centers” in opposing, with some successfulness, to the biogeographic ideas dominant at that time. Entre 1956 y 1965 los paleontólogos Osvaldo A. Reig y Rodolfo M. Casamiquela llevaron adelante una serie de trabajos sobre anuros fósiles que impactaron de manera decisiva sobre la comunidad paleontológica. Sus trabajos consistieron en la descripción de una gran diversidad de anuros sudamericanos extintos así como en los hallazgos de las especies más antiguas conocidas para el grupo en aquel entonces. Tomando como excusa esos hallazgos, Reig y Casamiquela cuestionaron los principales esquemas clasificatorios de la época e incluso pusieron en jaque el paradigma holarcticista de distribución de los organismos. Estos autores fueron posiblemente los primeros investigadores por fuera de los “centros científicos” en oponerse, con algún éxito, a las ideas biogeográficas dominantes en la época.
