Topic: Multituberculata


In the News (Tue 21 May 13)

  
  Multituberculata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Multituberculata are the only major branch of mammals to have become completely extinct, with no living descendants.
The structure of the pelvis in the Multituberculata suggests that they gave birth to tiny, helpless young, similar to modern marsupials.
This includes the more derived Multituberculata, which have been identified from the Lower Cretaceous to the Eocene.

 Bathmochoffatia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was a relatively early member of the also extinct order Multituberculata.
Remains consist of a solitary molar and one cheek tooth.

 Multituberculata
The Multituberculata are the only major branch of mammals to have become completely extinct, with no living descents.
In their 2001 study, Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum found that most multis could be referred to two suborders; “Plagiaulacida” and Cimolodonta.

 MULTITUBERCULATA - LoveToKnow Article on MULTITUBERCULATA
From this feature these otherwise unknown animals are believed to be related to the existing egg-laying mammals (duck-billed platypus and spiny ant-eater), constituting the order Monotremata, and are therefore provisionally placed near that group.
The largest representative of the Multituberculata is Polymastodon from the Lower Eocene of New Mexico; the same beds also yield the smaller Ptilodus; while from corresponding strata at Rheims, in France, has been obtained the nearly allied Neoplagiaulax.
Not improbably Trilylodon indicates a direct link between the multituberculate mammals and the anomodont reptiles of the Permian and Trias.

 Digimorph - Kryptobaatar dashzevegi (fossil multituberculate)
Although the exact placement of Multituberculata within Mammalia is under dispute, multituberculates are generally believed to fall outside Theria.
Within multituberculates, Kryptobaatar is a member of Djadochtatheria, a clade comprised of 10 of the 11 multituberculate taxa known from the late Cretaceous of Mongolia.

I think that it is Mexichromis multituberculata or Mexichromis mariei.
From the very large tubercles this can only be Mexichromis multituberculata, which makes your find a very large range extension from the Western Pacific.

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).
As Gondwanatherians are not Multituberculata, these remains would clearly not belong to this genus or grouping.

As a result, the body fixed between arms with m.serratus ventralis, that was important for push amortization.
The independent character of these changes was proved by junction of clavicle and sternum via the remains of procoracoid in Theria and interclavicle - in Multituberculata.

A stratigraphically controlled series of early Paleocene (Puercan) local faunas calibrated through 40Ar/39Ar age determinations provides the basis for analyses of the patterns and tempos of terrestrial faunal change during the first million years after the extinctions used to mark the end of the Cretaceous.
Graduate student research projects include: Investigation of the phylogenetic interrelationships, locomotor evolution, and turnover rates of Eocene artiodactyls; analysis of phylogenetic interrelationships and biogeographic distributions of Late Cretaceous and Early Cenozoic members of the Multituberculata; and study of the origins and evolutionary diversification of neornithine birds during the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene.

 The Sea Slug Forum - Mexichromis multituberculata
Originally described from Japan and later recorded from southern China, Mexichromis multituberculata was considered to differ from the other western Pacific species of Mexichromis, Mexichromis festiva, Mexichromis macropus and Mexichromis mariei in having purple spots around the edge of the mantle rather than yellow or orange.
However Stuart Hutchison's message suggests that Mexichromis multituberculata almost certainly includes animals with reddish, purple, blue or orange spots around the mantle edge.

Hypotheses that do not result in monotremes being closer to multitubeculates include those that have multituberculates outside of a monphyletic monotremes+therians and those that have multitubeculates as a sistertaxa to therian to the exclusion of monotremes.
251) "For some time, Multituberculata was allied with Monotremata in 'Prototheria' (e.g., Hopson, 1970; Kermack and Kielan-Jaworowska, 1971; Kermack and Kermack, 1984).
Griffiths, 1978; Presley, 1981; Kemp, 1983; Clemens, 1986; Kielan-Jaworowska et al., 1986) and many workers have now rejected Prototheria, although the position of Multituberculata has remained uncertain." Rowe's analysis supports Multituberculata as being closer to Therians than either is to Monotremata.
