Kogaionidae is a family of fossil mammals within the extinct order Multituberculata.Representatives are known from the Upper Cretaceous and the Paleocene of Europe. [2] [3] Having started as island endemics on Hateg Island during the Upper Cretaceous, where they were in fact the dominant mammal group and diverged into rather unique ecological niches, they expanded across Europe in the ...
An approximate timescale of the Cenozoic. Axis scale: millions of years ago. The European Land Mammal Mega Zones (abbreviation: ELMMZ, more commonly known as European land mammal ages or ELMA) are zones in rock layers that have a specific assemblage of fossils (biozones) based on occurrences of fossil assemblages of European land mammals.
Orthaspidotherium was a European Paleocene genus of early herbivorous mammals of the family Pleuraspidotheriidae. [1] It was included in the family Meniscotheriidae by Teilhard de Chardin in 1921-1922 and was subsequently separated into the family Pleuraspidotheriidae, before being placed in the family Phenacodontidae. [2] The first complete ...
Europolemur klatti was a medium to large size adapiformes primate that lived on the continent of Europe from the middle to early Eocene. One possible relative to this species is Margarita stevensi, whose type specimen is about the size of a white-footed sportive lemur ( Lepilemur leucopus ). [1] Characteristic of most adapines are the reduced ...
Mammuthus rumanus is suggested to have originated in Africa. [1] Material intermediate between African mammoths and Mammuthus rumanus has been reported from Bethlehem in the Levant, dating to sometime in the Late Pliocene, around 3-4 million years ago. [2] The oldest calibrated dates for Mammuthus rumanus and mammoths outside Africa are from ...
Taeniodonta ("banded teeth") is an extinct order of eutherian mammals, that lived in North America and Europe from the late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) to the middle Eocene. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Taeniodonts evolved quickly into highly specialized digging animals , and varied greatly in size, from rat-sized to species as large as a bear.
