Morganucodonta
Morganucodonta ("Glamorgan teeth") is an extinct order of basal Mammaliaformes, a group including crown-group mammals (Mammalia) and their close relatives. Their remains have been found in Southern Africa, Western Europe, North America, India and China. The morganucodontans were probably insectivorous and nocturnal, though like eutriconodonts some species attained large sizes and were carnivorous. Nocturnality is believed to have evolved in the earliest mammals in the Triassic (called the nocturnal bottleneck) as a specialisation that allowed them to exploit a safer, night-time niche, while most larger predators were likely to have been active during the day (though some dinosaurs, for example, were nocturnal as well). Anatomy and biology Morganucodontans had a double jaw articulation made up of the dentary-squamosal joint as well as a quadrate-articular one. This implies that they also retained one of their postdentary bones: the articular. There is a trough at the back of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Indotherium
''Indotherium'' is an extinct genus of mammaliaforms that lived in what is now India during the Early Jurassic. It contains one species, ''I. pranhitai'', which is known from two upper molar teeth found in the Kota Formation of Telangana. When it was first described, it was assigned to the paraphyletic group "Symmetrodonta Symmetrodonta is a group of Mesozoic mammals and mammal-like synapsids characterized by the triangular aspect of the molars when viewed from above, and the absence of a well-developed talonid. The traditional group of 'symmetrodonts' ranges in a ...", but later studies have reinterpreted it as a possible member of the family Morganucodontidae.

Wareolestes
''Wareolestes rex'' ("Ware's Brigand king") is a mammaliaform from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) rocks of England and Scotland. It was originally known from isolated teeth from England, before a more complete jaw with teeth was found in the Kilmaluag Formation of Skye, Scotland. Etymology ''Wareolestes rex'' was named by Eric Freeman, who named it for Dr. Martin Ware "in recognition of this major contribution" to Freeman's successful work. The second part of the generic name, ''lestes'', comes from the Greek for ''brigand''. The species name ''rex'', Latin for ''king'', is both in recognition of the relatively large size of this Mesozoic mammaliaform, and a pun on the name of Mr E. J. King. Discovery ''Wareolestes rex'' was first found in and named from the Forest Marble Formation of Kirtlington, Oxfordshire, England. The holotype is a single molar tooth, originally described as a lower molar, but later argued to be an upper molar.Hahn G., Sigogneau-Russell D. and Gogefroit P. ...

Rosierodon
''Rosierodon'' is an extinct genus of morganucodont mammaliaforms from the Late Triassic of France. It contains a single species, ''Rosierodon anceps'', which was named in 2015 based on several isolated lower molariforms discovered in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port Saint-Nicolas-de-Port () is a Communes of France, commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle ''Departments of France, département'' in north-eastern France.

Purbeckodon
''Purbeckodon'' is an extinct genus of mammaliaforms, possibly belonging to Morganucodonta, that is known from Early Cretaceous deposits of southeastern Dorset, England. It was collected in the Purbeck Limestone Group of Dorset. It was first named by Percy M. Butler, Denise Sigogneau-Russell and P. C. Ensom in 2011 and the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen ... is ''Purbeckodon batei''.

Paceyodon
''Paceyodon'' is an extinct genus of morganucodontan from Early Jurassic deposits of southern Wales, United Kingdom. ''Paceyodon'' is known from an isolated molariform that is significantly larger than any morganucodontan molariform yet discovered. It was collected in the Pant Quarry, Vale of Glamorgan. It was first named by William A. Clemens in 2011 and the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen ... is ''Paceyodon davidi''.
