Microcosmodontidae is a poorly preserved family of fossil mammals within the extinct order Multituberculata. Late Cretaceous (100mya - 65mya refers to the second half of the Cretaceous Period, named after the famous white Chalk cliffs of southern England The Paleocene or Palaeocene, "early dawn of the recent" is a geologic epoch that lasted from 65 Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Mammals ( class Mammalia) are a class of Vertebrate Animals characterized by the presence of Sweat glands, including sweat glands The Multituberculata (multituberculates are a major branch of mammals that survived for a long period of time but eventually became completely extinct at the end of the Microcosmodon is a Mammal Genus from the Paleocene of North America. Acheronodon is a Genus of Mammal from the Paleocene of North America. Pentacosmodon is a Mammal Genus from the Paleocene of North America, so it lived somewhat after the "age of the Dinosaurs FOSSIL is a standard protocol for allowing serial communication for Telecommunications programs under the DOS Operating system. Mammals ( class Mammalia) are a class of Vertebrate Animals characterized by the presence of Sweat glands, including sweat glands The Multituberculata (multituberculates are a major branch of mammals that survived for a long period of time but eventually became completely extinct at the end of the Representatives are known from the Upper Cretaceous though the Lower Paleocene of North America. The Cretaceous (kriːˈteɪʃəs, usually abbreviated 'K' for its German translation "Kreide" is a geologic period and system, reaching from the end of The Paleocene or Palaeocene, "early dawn of the recent" is a geologic epoch that lasted from 65 The family is part of the suborder Cimolodonta. This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used The Cimolodonta are a taxon of Extinct Mammals that lived from the Cretaceous to the Eocene. Other than that, their systematic relationships are hard to define.
These microcosmodontids were rather small and had a "large lower incisor with a restricted enamel band, (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum 2001, p. 417). This grouping has also be seen as Microcosmodontinae Holtzman & Wolberg, 1977, within Eucosmodontidae. Eucosmodontidae is a poorly preserved family of Fossil Mammals within the extinct order Multituberculata. However, "Microcosmodontidae (new rank assigned by Fox to the subfamily Microcosmodontinae)," (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 2001).
