Fruitafossor
Fruitafossor is a termite-eating mammal endemic to North America during the Late Jurassic epoch (around 150 mya).
Dryolestes
Dryolestes is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic mammal from the Morrison Formation and the Alcobaça Formation of Portugal. The type species Dryolestes priscus is present in stratigraphic zones 2, 5, and 6.
Laolestes
Laolestes is an extinct genus of dryolestid mammal. Fossil remains are known from the Morrison Formation, in stratigraphic zones 5 and 6., the Late Jurassic of Portugal, and Early Cretaceous Wadhurst Clay of the United Kingdom.
Trioracodon
Trioracodon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous eutriconodont mammal found in North America and the British Isles. It was named in 1928.
Ctenacodon
Ctenacodon is a genus of extinct mammal that lived in what is now North America during the Upper Jurassic period. It is a member of the family Allodontidae within the order Multituberculata. Ctenacodon, also known as Allodon (Marsh 1881), was named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879. At least three species are currently recognized.
Tinodon
Tinodon is an extinct genus of mammal. First described by the paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, it contains two recognized species: Tinodon bellus and T. micron. It is known from jaw and dental remains. Its taxonomic placement within the mammalian lineage remains uncertain, having been variously placed within and outside of the crown group Mammalia. It lived from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, found in both North America and Europe. Its known habitats are believed to have ranged from semi-arid to arid.
Amblotherium
Amblotherium is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous mammal. The type species Amblotherium pusillum is from the Lulworth Formation of southern England, while the referred species Amblotherium gracile is from stratigraphic zones 2, 3 and 5 of the Morrison Formation of the US.
Paurodon
Paurodon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic mammal from the Morrison Formation of the Western United States.
Priacodon
Priacodon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic eutriconodont mammal from the Alcobaça Formation of Portugal and the Morrison Formation of the midwestern United States. It is present in stratigraphic zones 4–6 of the latter. The genus contains four known species: Priacodon ferox, Priacodon fruitaensis, Priacodon lulli and Priacodon robustus.
Zofiabaatar pulcher
Zofiabaatar is a genus of extinct mammal from the Upper Jurassic period. It was a relatively early member of the extinct order Multituberculata within the suborder "Plagiaulacida". It lived in North America along with dinosaurs such as Diplodocus and Allosaurus.
Psalodon
Psalodon is an extinct genus of North American mammal that lived during the Upper Jurassic period. It's a member of the family Allodontidae within the order Multituberculata.
Tathiodon
Tathiodon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian - Tithonian) mammal from the Morrison Formation. Present in stratigraphic zone 5.
Amphidon aequicrurius
Amphidon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic mammal from the Morrison Formation. It is present in stratigraphic zone five. Two species have been named in the genus: Amphidon superstes and Amphidon aequicrurius, by Simpson in 1925.
Aploconodon
Aploconodon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic mammals belonging to the family Amphidontidae. It contains one species, A. comoensis.
