	Meniscoessus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meniscoessus is a genus of extinct mammal from the Upper Cretaceous of North America.
		It lived toward the end of the "age of the dinosaurs" and was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata.
		Be that all as it may, Meniscoessus is a valid multituberculate, and is known from some quite good remains, as well as a great many teeth.

		They are named for their teeth, which had many cusps (tubercles) arranged in rows, hence multituberculates.
		About 80 genera of multituberculata are known, including Lambdopsalis, Ptilodus and Meniscoessus.
		In their 2001 study, Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum found that most multituberculates could be referred to two suborders: "Plagiaulacida" and Cimolodonta.

		It leaked out in a published paper by Versluys, who visited Brown around 1910 when Kritosaurus was still being called Nectosaurus but failed to notice the name change in time to correct it in his paper.
		Apparently has something to do with Tripriodon caperatus, which I believe is a synonym of Paronychodon lacustris.
		It was originally called Tripriodon caperatus (a species of the mammal genus Tripriodon) and was later referred to the genus Meniscoessus (by whom I don't recall), but it is based on theropod teeth similar to the type teeth of Paronychodon and is probably best referred to Paronychodon as P. caperatus.

		The species name "seminoensis" refers to the Seminoe Mountains that overlook the area where the teeth were found.
