Condylarthra

Condylarthra is an informal group – previously considered an order – of extinct placental mammals, known primarily from the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. Periptychidae and Condylarthra are condylarths.

Cretaceous

The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).

Ectoconus

Ectoconus (Greek: "outside" (ektos), "cone" (konos)) is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivorous mammal of the family Periptychidae, endemic to North America during the Early Paleocene subepochs (66—63.3 mya) existing for approximately. Periptychidae and Ectoconus are Prehistoric mammal stubs.

Edward Drinker Cope

Edward Drinker Cope (July 28, 1840 – April 12, 1897) was an American zoologist, paleontologist, comparative anatomist, herpetologist, and ichthyologist.

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.

Incertae sedis

of uncertain placement or problematica is a term used for a taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined.

Omnivore

An omnivore is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter.

Oxyacodon

Oxyacodon is an extinct genus of condylarth of the family Periptychidae endemic to North America during the Early Paleocene living from 66 to 63.3 mya, existing for approximately. Periptychidae and Oxyacodon are Prehistoric mammal stubs.

Placentalia

Placental mammals (infraclass Placentalia) are one of the three extant subdivisions of the class Mammalia, the other two being Monotremata and Marsupialia.

Premolar

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

Tooth enamel

Tooth enamel is one of the four major tissues that make up the tooth in humans and many animals, including some species of fish.
