	Ancylopoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ancylopoda, is a group of mammals in the Perissodactyla that show long, curved and cleft claws.
		Morphological evidence indicates the Ancylopoda diverged from the tapirs, rhinoceroses and horses ( Euperissodactyla) after the Brontotheria, however earlier authoritites such as Osborn sometimes considered the Ancylopoda to be outside Perissodactyla or, as was popular more recently, to be related to Brontotheria.

	Paleogene Impacts
		The Land-vertebrate fauna of Eocene is characterised by browsing mammals like primitive perissodactyls (palaeotheres, primitive equioids, primitive tapir-like animals).
		Among these animals were also several primitive herbivorous mammalian orders, like Brontotheria, Pantotheria, Tillodonta.
		Some of these animals were of considerable size, like the pantodont Coryphodon, which growed to 2.5 m long and was formed little like modern hippo ( Hippopotamus).

	Notes - Book One
		The “ancestral mammoths” are Paleomastodons: it seemed unthinkable to include a procession of prehistoric beasts in a Faction Paradox novel without introducing mammoths in some form or other.
		The “stranger pachyderms” are gompotheria – long box-headed elephants, like it says on the tin – while the “rhinocerids” are brontotheria, the general family of “rhinos with weird knobbly bits instead of horns”.
		The “behemoths” are baluchitheria – the largest recorded class of land mammal, some of whom were of comparable size to the sauropod dinosaurs (ie very large indeed).
