Kuehneodon - Kuehneodon Kuehneodon Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Therapsida Class: Mammalia Order: Multituberculata Family: Paulchoffatiidae Genus: Kuehneodon Species K. barcasensis K. dietrichi K. dryas K. guimarotensis K. simpsoni K. uniradiculatus Ref. Kuehneodon is an extinct mammal of the Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous of Europe. It was a relatively early member of the also extinct order of Multituberculata. It lived alongside such dinosaurs as Allosaurus. (For the more technically inclined, suborder "Plagiaulacida", family Paulchoffatiidae. This genus is presently the only known memmber of a subfamily called Kuehneodontinae.) Genus: Kuehneodon Hahn G, 1969 'Kühne’s tooth' Remarks: This genus was named in honour of paleontologist Walther Kühne, pioneer of the Guimarota site in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He began working there as this coal mine ceased its economic.
Paulchoffatiidae - Meketibolodon Meketichoffatia Plesiochoffatia Pseudobolodon Xenachoffatia Kuehneodon Galveodon Sunnyodon Ref. Paulchoffatiidae is a family of extinct mammals that lived predominantly during the Upper Jurassic period, though a couple of genera are known from the earliest Cretaceous. (Some undescribed fossils from the Middle Jurassic of England may represent earlier versions.) Remains have been reported from Portugal, Spain and England. Paulchoffatiids were members of the order Multituberculata. They were relatively early representatives and are within the informal suborder of "Plagiaulacida". The family was named by G. Hahn in 1969, and it honours the Portuguese geologist Léon Paul Choffat. Two subfamilies are recognized. The most productive fossil site for paulchoffatiids has been Guimarota, Portugal. Remains from this locality are generally diagnosed on the basis of lower or upper jaws. In only one instance, Kuehneodon, has.
Plagiaulacida - Jurassic of England might belong within this group. Representatives are best known from the Upper Jurassic, (especially from Guimarota, Portugal), though some were still nibbling during the Lower Cretaceous. Family: Paulchoffatiidae The various genera can be visited on the family page. They're divided into two of subfamilies, plus a couple of harder to place individuals: Subfamily Paulchoffatiinae: Paulchoffatia and its nearest and dearest. This taxon contains nine genera. Subfamily Kuehneodontinae: Consists solely of the genus Kuehneodon, though there are half-a-dozen named species. Other genera: Galveodon and Sunnyodon are based on teeth from the Lower Cretaceous of Spain and England respectively. Also referable to the paulchoffatiid line, (but not the family itself), are the following: Family: Hahnodontidae: Presently restricted to a single lower tooth from the Upper Cretaceous of Morocco, (Hahnodon).
