	Plagiaulax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plagiaulax is a genus of mammal from the Lower Cretaceous of Europe.
		Fossil remains of the species Plagiaulax becklesii are known from Durlston Bay in Dorset, England.
		They include at least one partial lower jaw with teeth, though there may well be further specimens.

		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.
		The latter takes its name from its resemblance to Plagia~ulax (figs.

		We can scarcely doubt that we should already have traced back the evidence of this class of fossils much farther had not our inquiries been arrested, first by the vast gap between the Tertiary and Secondary formations, and then by the marine nature of the Cretaceous rocks.
		The mammalia next in antiquity, of which we have any cognisance, are those of the Upper Oolite of Purbeck, discovered between the years 1854 and 1857, and comprising no less than fourteen species, referable to eight or nine genera; one of them, Plagiaulax, considered by Dr. Falconer to have been a herbivorous marsupial.
		The whole assemblage appear, from the joint observations of Professor Owen and Dr. Falconer, to indicate a low grade of quadruped, probably of the marsupial type.

	Skeptical Inquirer: Bits of bogus science preceding Piltdown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The heart of Russell's book is a careful and readable examination of Dawson's record, case by case.
		From abraded fossil mammal teeth in the 1890s (Plagiaulax dawsoni) to the doctored teeth of Piltdown (Eoanthropus dawsoni), Dawson is linked to a series of small frauds, salted sites, dubious reports, and borderline scholarship.
		Most were plausible and not so exceptional that they might raise eyebrows, but each improved the reputation of the author.

	Charles Dawson: 'The Piltdown faker' - www.ezboard.com
		Amongst these fossils he found teeth from a previously unknown species of mammal, later named Plagiaulax dawsoni in his honour.
		Using the skills honed over the previous decades (such as the filing of Plagiaulax teeth and the whittling of the Bulverhythe antler with a steel knife), Charles Dawson gave British palaeontology what it had craved for so long: A British ancestor; a missing link from the home counties.
		Charles Dawson FGS, FSA never received his knighthood, though many others associated with the Piltdown "find" were to.

		Plagiaulax becklesii and the smaller Plagiaulax minor had large front teeth to pierce, retain and kill.
		He considered Plagiaulax to be carnivorous marsupial which probably lived on small mammals and lizards.
		Spalacotherium with its ten multicuspid molar teeth had jaws adapted to the piercing and crushing of the tough chitinous cases and elytra of insects (there were many insects in the Purbeck environments, especially cockroaches - see Jarzembowski papers).

	The Piltdown Inquest - CHAPTER SEVEN
		Exposing these stamps to thermoluminescence proved that they had been made somewhere around 1900 (Peacock, 1973; the conclusion is disputed by Costello, 1985).
		The article on the stamps said that the fossil mammal Plagiaulax dawsoni " would repay scrutiny"-that is, there's a question about the authenticity even of Dawson's fossil finds.
		Dawson may have been duped on all of these things; or may have been overeager to accept anything as a fossil or an antiquity; or may have faked it all.

		This animal was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata, lying within the suborder Cimolodonta and family Neoplagiaulacidae.
		The genus Neoplagiaulax ("new Plagiaulax") was named by Lemoine V. in 1882.
		Some material has also been reassigned to Eucosmodon.
