  Ferugliotherium
Ferugliotherium is an extinct mammal genus from the Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia.
It was a member of the extinct taxon of Gondwanatheria, and lived during 'the age of the dinosaurs'.

 Ferugliotherium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferugliotherium is a genus of mammal from the extinct suborder Gondwanatheria that lived in Patagonia, Argentina, specificially Los Alamitos Formation in Río Negro Province.
Bonaparte also named the Vucetichia gracilis genus and species in 1990 (Bonaparte, 1990), which was synonymized with Ferugliotherium by David Krause in 1993 (Krause, 1993).

 MESOZOIC MAMMALS; Gondwanatheria, an internet directory
Two multi-like characteristics are cited for the molars of Ferugliotherium: the presence of more than one row of cusps, and the evident direction of movement of the dentary during the power bite, (palinal -backwards directed).
In Ferugliotherium, the wear facets run from back to front, which indicates that the bite power was maximized during posterior movement.
Those multi group are currently only known from the northern hemisphere, none are known to have hypsodont cheek teeth or more than two molariform teeth in each half of the lower jaw.

 Paleocene mammals of the world
An odd group of late Mesozoic to early Cenozoic mammals from the ancient landmass of Gondwana is worth mentioning here since it may represent a southern radiation of multituberculates.
These poorly known animals, appropriately called gondwanatheres, were first found in the late Cretaceous (Gondwanatherium, Ferugliotherium) and early Paleocene (Sudamerica) of South America.
At least Gondwanatherium and Ferugliotherium had enlarged incisors for gnawing.

As far as the known southern range for multis, they are known from the Early K of Morocco (Hahnodon taqueti), the Late K of Baja California (Stygimys sp., Mesodma cf.
formosa, 1 unnamed taxon), possibly Argentina (unnamed taxon formerly referred to the gondwanatherian Ferugliotherium.
It's based on a jaw with a bladelike p4), and possibly Madagascar (unnamed).

 ON THE EMERGENCE OF MAMMALS
It is simpler to cite it from an 1993 paper [13]: "Most workers regard edentates as the most primitive known placental mammals...However, assuming that Sudamerica and Gondwanatherium were involved in the ancestry of Edentata, Bonaparte...
postulated that...edentates may be relicts of an endemic radiation which evolved in isolation prior to the differentiation of placentals from some primitive therian stock." However "Ferugliotherium is probably most closely related to an undescribed plagiaulacoid from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation".
So Ref. 13 guesses that Superfamily Gondwanatherioidea belongs to Edentata, and so Edentata are very derived Multituberculata:
