Paleogene mammals of Asia

Coryphodon (from Greek , "point", and , "tooth", meaning peaked tooth, referring to "the development of the angles of the ridges into points [on the molars].") is an extinct genus of pantodonts of the family Coryphodontidae.

Protocetus atavus ("first whale") is an extinct species of primitive cetacean from Egypt. It lived during the middle Eocene period 45 million years ago. The first discovered protocetid, Protocetus atavus was described by based on a cranium and a number of associated vertebrae and ribs found in middle Lutetian Tethyan marine limestone from the Mokattam Formation at Gebel Mokattam near Cairo, Egypt.

Hyrachyus (from Hyrax and "pig") is an extinct genus of perissodactyl mammal that lived in Eocene Europe, North America, and Asia. Its remains have also been found in Jamaica. It is closely related to Lophiodon.

Cynodictis ("slender dog marten") is an extinct amphicyonid carnivoran which inhabited Eurasia from the Late Eocene subepoch to the Early Oligocene subepoch living from 37.2 to 28.4 million years ago, existing for approximately .

Elomeryx is an extinct genus of artiodactyl ungulate, and is among the earliest known anthracotheres. The genus was extremely widespread, first being found in Asia in the middle Eocene, in Europe during the latest Eocene, and having spread to North America by the early Oligocene. The closest living relatives of the Elomeryx are said suids, and hippopotamids (hippopotami and cetaceans). thumb|left|Restoration of E. armatus Elomeryx was about in body length, and had a long, vaguely horse-like head. It had small tusks which it used to uproot plants, and spoon-shaped incisors ideal for pulling an

Pachyaena (literally, "thick hyena") was a genus of heavily built, relatively short-legged mesonychids. Mesonychids were part of the now extinct order known as Mesonychia, a group mammalian predators that evolved before modern ungulates or carnivorans. Despite this, mesonychians are found to have combined characteristics of both carnivorans and ungulates. The genus likely originated from Asia and dispersed to Europe, and from there to North America across a land bridge in what is now the North Atlantic ocean. Pachyaena would later be replaced by Dissacus in Europe.

Hapalodectes (literal translation 'soft biter'; from ('soft, tender') and ('biter')) is an extinct genus of otter-like mesonychians from the Late Paleocene to Early Eocene, some 55million years ago. Although the first fossils were found in the Eocene strata of Wyoming, the genus originated in Mongolia, as the oldest species is H. dux, which was found in Late Paleocene strata in the Naran Bulak Formation. left|thumb|Life restoration of H. serus The genus was once suggested to be related to the Archaeoceti, such as Pakicetus, due to numerous similarities between the skull and tooth anatomies of

Prolimnocyon ("before Limnocyon") is an extinct paraphyletic genus of limnocyonin hyaenodonts that lived in Asia and North America during the Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene. Prolimnocyon chowi is one of the earliest known member of the order Hyaenodonta and clade Limnocyoninae.

Limnocyoninae ("swamp dogs") is a clade of extinct predatory mammals from extinct order Hyaenodonta. Fossil remains of these mammals are known from late Paleocene to late Eocene deposits in North America and Asia. Limnocyonines had only two molars in the upper and lower dentition.

Prionessus is a genus of extinct mammal from the Paleocene of what is now Central Asia. It was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata within the suborder Cimolodonta and superfamily Taeniolabidoidea. The genus was named by William Diller Matthew and Walter Granger in 1925, and is based on a single species P.lucifer.

Sphenopsalis is a genus of extinct mammal from the Paleocene of what is now Central Asia. It was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata, and lies within the suborder Cimolodonta and the superfamily Taeniolabidoidea. The genus was named by William Diller Matthew, W. Granger and George Gaylord Simpson in 1928.
