 CATOPSALIS
Catopsalis is a North American mammal genus from the Paleocene of North America, (though some Canadian finds may be Upper Cretaceous).
For those of a technical inclination, Catopsalis is within the Suborder of Cimolodonta, and a member of the superfamily Taeniolabidoidea.

garfieldensis, and Catopsalis joyneri; and (2) most northerly records of Ptilodus sp.
Within the Hanna Basin, no genera of multituberculates or peradectians from the Ferris Formation have been documented in strata both of Lancian and Puercan age; several examples of pseudoextinction, however, may exist through taxonomic artifact.
In general, the Lancian multituberculate and peradectian faunas of the type Ferris Formation are similar to, although not nearly so diverse as, those from the type Lance Formation; the lower diversity almost certainly is an artifact of paucity of specimens available for study.

One example of an endemic radiation may be the multituberculate family Taeniolabididae.
The earliest Paleocene taeniolabidid Catopsalis was once thought to occur in Mongolia as well as in North America, but subsequent study has shown this not to be the case.
It has also been hypothesized that Taeniolabididae originated in North America and dispersed to Asia in the Paleocene.

Renewed prospecting and collecting of fossil vertebrates in the Denver Formation in the last few years has resulted in several significant discoveries of earliest Tertiary (i.e., Puercan) mammals.
Notably, our collecting at South Table Mountain in August of 2000 uncovered five more mammalian specimens at Roland Brown’s original mammal locality (coined Brown’s Baioconodon site), including two taxa not previously known from the site - the multituberculate Catopsalis alexanderi and the “condylarth” Oxyclaenus.
Both taxa corroborate initial correlations by others of the South Table Mountain Locality with the early Puercan-aged Alexander Locality, near Littleton.
