Synopsis

This book rewrites the evolutionary story of an ancient and poorly understood group of mammals called taeniodonts. Taeniodonts first appeared during the great radiation of early mammals that followed the extinction of the dinosaurs. The author draws upon new fossil discoveries to bring to life the bizarre and fascinating taeniodonts, which roamed North America for nearly 20 million years before vanishing without descendants. The author's research traces the evolutionary history of taeniodonts, reconstructing their behavior, appearance, and functional anatomy, while offering unique insights into their place within the history of mammalian evolution.
