  Kollikodon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kollikodon lived in the lower Cretaceous period, during the middle Albian age (100-104 million years ago).
Assuming the accuracy of such a guess, Kollikodon would be a contender for the largest Mesozoic mammal known, along with other possible giants such as Repenomamus, Schowalteria, and Bubodens.
Both Kollikodon and Steropodon can be found at the Australian Museum in Sydney, along with Eric, the opalised pliosaur.

 Kollikodon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The fossil was found at Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia.
Assuming the accuracy of such a guess, Kollikodon would easily be the largest Mesozoic mammal known.
The original suggestion for the animal's name was Hotcrossbunidon, but this was felt to be invalid in terms of the rules of zoological nomenclature, and so Kollikodon was officially proposed.

The existence of this species is based on an opalised fragment of dentary, with one premolar and two molars in situ.
Kollikodon was possibly at least partly aquatic: its strange teeth would work well for crushing shellfish.
Both Kollikodon and Steropodon live at the Australian Museum in Sydney, along with Eric, the opalised pliosaur.

 [No title]
Paleontologists in Australia have recently discovered the jawbone of a Cretaceous monotreme called Kollikodon ritchiei, 120 million years old.
Kollikodon was so different from a previously discovered monotreme, Steropodon, that it's probable that monotremes had taken on many forms long before the Cretaceous.
Cat-sized, Kollikodon was 10 times bigger than any other mammal alive then.

 Monotreme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
These fragments, from species Steropodon galmani, are the oldest known fossils of monotremes.
Fossils from the genera Kollikodon, Teinolophos, and Obdurodon have also been discovered.
In 1991, a fossil tooth of a 61-million- year-old platypus was found in southern Argentina (since named Monotrematum, though it is now considered to be an Obdurodon species).

The name Steropodon means 'Lightning tooth' and refers to the flash of colour in this opalised fossil.
Kollikodon had bizarre hot-cross-bun-shaped teeth, hence its nickname 'Hotcrossbunodon'.
Its teeth are so different from those of Steropodon that their common monotreme ancestor must be much older.

 MESOZOIC MAMMALS?; Monotremata, an internet directory:
This is based on an opalized fragment of dentary, with one premolar and two molars in situ.
Both Kollikodon and Steropodon live at the Australian Museum in Sydney, along with Eric, the opalized pliosaur.
The molar is double-rooted, which is plesiomorphic when compared to ornithorhynchids, but is a shared characteristic with Steropodon and Kollikodon.
