这项工作首次详细描述了西班牙中新世化石记录中属于变色虫的牙齿，并证明了它们的一般和特殊归属。发现的化石元素对应于两栖动物的频率，这是居住在欧洲的最后一种爬行动物。这是迄今为止该物种的最南端，因此表明它的地理范围比之前认为的向南延伸得更远。
The present work provides for the first time a detailed description of teeth attributable to metatherians in the Miocene fossil record of Spain, and justifies their generic and specific ascription. The fossil elements found correspond to Amphiperatherium frequens, the last herpetotheriid that inhabited Europe. This is so far the southernmost occurrence of this species, thus showing that its geographic range extended further southward than previously thought.
