Cranio-Mandibular Anatomy of Haldanodon Exspectatus (Docodonta; Mammalia) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal and its implications to the evolution of mammalian characters
Members of the order Docodonta (Mammalia), recorded only from Middle and Upper Jurassic strata of western Holarctica, previously were known solely through remains of teeth and jaws.
We provide detailed, bone-by-bone descriptions, along with pertinent comparisons, of all available cranial remains of Haldanodon exspectatus, a fossorial docodont collected from Upper Jurassic coastal swamp deposits preserved in the Guimarota lignite mine at Leiria, west-central Portugal.
