TL;DR: Amarante et al. as mentioned in this paper established the geographical locations of the 1887 localities, formalized their names, evaluated the stratigraphic position of the fossil-bearing levels, and analyzed the geographic extension of the Notohippidian, inferring that Rio Bote is where C. Ameghino first collected species that came to define the Nothippidian.

Analysis of primate dental microwear using image processing techniques.
TL;DR: Fourier transformation is introduced as a rapid, replicable means for characterizing and distinguishing patterns of microscopic wear on primate teeth and two-dimensional power spectra obtained from numerical Fourier transformation are shown to be different between two test patterns.
