An halisaurine (Squamata: Mosasauridae) from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia, with a preserved tympanic disc: Insights into the mosasaur middle ear Fernández, Marta S. Talevi, Marianella Cretaceous Halisaurus Late Maastrichtian Mosasauroidea Patagonia Tympanic Disc Halisaurinae is a subfamily of enigmatic, small- to medium-sized mosasauroids, which retain a mosaic of primitive and derived features. The first record of a South American Halisaurus with precise stratigraphic information includes a quadrate carrying a tympanic disc together with twelve vertebrae, collected in the Late Maastrichtian of Jagüel Formation in northern Patagonia (Argentina). The preservation of a tympanic disc allows exploring and discussing the mechanisms of sound transmission in these mosasauroids. The location of the tympanic disc resembles that one formed by the extracolumella of aquatic turtles and at least one extant lizard. Based on morphological comparison of the middle ear we discuss previous hypotheses on the modification of the tympanic middle ear system of mosasauroids for underwater hearing, in a manner similar to that observed in aquatic turtles. true Halisaurinae is a subfamily of enigmatic, small- to medium-sized mosasauroids, which retain a mosaic of primitive and derived features.
