Pliocene Argentina

Palaeolama () is an extinct genus of lamine camelids that existed from the Pleistocene to the Holocene (). Their range extended from North America to the intertropical region of South America.

Mesembriornis is a genus of intermediate-sized phorusrhacids that grew up to in height. They represent a well-distinct lineage of terror birds, differing from the massive large groups and the smaller Psilopterinae. In general proportions, they most resembled the Patagornithinae which flourished somewhat earlier, mainly to the south of the range of Mesembriornis. Fossils of the terror bird have been found in Montehermosan deposits of the Monte Hermoso Formation, as well as the Andalgala Formation and Chapadmalal Formation in Argentina.
