Asia
Asia is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population.
Basal (phylogenetics)
In phylogenetics, basal is the direction of the base (or root) of a rooted phylogenetic tree or cladogram.

Dentition
Dentition pertains to the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth.
Eocene
The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).
North America
North America is a continent in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.
See Alagomyidae and North America
Paleocene
The Paleocene, or Palaeocene, is a geological epoch that lasted from about 66 to 56 million years ago (mya).
Phylogenetics
In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.

Rodent
Rodents (from Latin rodere, 'to gnaw') are mammals of the order Rodentia, which are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws.
Tribosphenomys
Tribosphenomys is a genus of extinct rodent that lived during Late Paleocene of Northern China and Mongolia. Alagomyidae and Tribosphenomys are Paleocene rodents.
