Adalatherium
Adalatherium (Adàla, 'crazy' in Malagasy and therium, 'beast' in Greek) is an extinct gondwanatherian that lived in Madagascar during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous. The discovery of the first nearly-complete skeleton from the Maevarano Formation was announced in April 2020.
Cifelliodon
Cifelliodon is an extinct genus of mammaliaform known from the Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah, United States, dated to the Early Cretaceous.
