First paleoparasitological record of acanthocephalan eggs from Northwestern Patagonia (Late Holocene, Argentina)

Eggs representative of an acanthocephalan were found in an ancient fragment of raptor pellet, probably belonged to the barn owl, Tyto alba, from the archeological site named "Epullán Chica cave." This site is a cave located at the southern of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, Argentina. The fra...
