Adianthus

Adianthus is an extinct genus of litoptern that lived during the Early Miocene to the Middle Miocene in what is now Argentina and Chile. Adianthidae and Adianthus are litopterns.

Cat

The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal.

Cusp (anatomy)

A cusp is a pointed, projecting, or elevated feature.

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

Florentino Ameghino

Florentino Ameghino (born Giovanni Battista Fiorino Giuseppe Ameghino; September 19, 1853 – August 6, 1911) was an Argentine naturalist, paleontologist, anthropologist and zoologist, whose fossil discoveries on the Argentine Pampas, especially on Patagonia, rank with those made in the western United States during the late 19th century.

Herbivore

A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage or marine algae, for the main component of its diet.

Litopterna

Litopterna (from λῑτή πτέρνα "smooth heel") is an extinct order of South American native ungulates that lived from the Paleocene to the end of the Pleistocene-early Holocene around 63 million-12,000 years ago, and were also present in Antarctica during the Eocene. Adianthidae and Litopterna are litopterns.

Macraucheniidae

Macraucheniidae is a family in the extinct South American ungulate order Litopterna, that resembled various camelids. Adianthidae and Macraucheniidae are litopterns, Neogene mammals of South America, Paleogene mammals of South America and Prehistoric mammal families.

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

Molar (tooth)

The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth.

Mustersan

The Mustersan age is a period of geologic time (48.0–42.0 Ma) within the Eocene epoch of the Paleogene, used more specifically within the South American land mammal age (SALMA) classification.

See Adianthidae and Mustersan

Oligocene

The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.

Paracone

A paracone is a 1960s atmospheric reentry or spaceflight mission abort concept using an inflatable ballistic cone.

See Adianthidae and Paracone

Premolar

The premolars, also called premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth.

See Adianthidae and Premolar

Proadiantus

Proadiantus (Ameghino, 1897) is an extinct genus of adianthid litoptern. Adianthidae and Proadiantus are litopterns.

See Adianthidae and Proadiantus

Proectocion

Proectocion is an extinct genus of adianthid litoptern. Adianthidae and Proectocion are litopterns.

See Adianthidae and Proectocion

Santacrucian

The Santacrucian age is a period of geologic time (17.5 – 16.3 Ma) within the Early Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically with SALMA classification in South America.

See Adianthidae and Santacrucian

Tricoelodus

Tricoelodus is an extinct genus of adianthid litopterns that lived during the Late Oligocene in what is now Argentina and Bolivia. Adianthidae and Tricoelodus are litopterns.
