†Paritatodon kermacki (Sigogneau-Russell, 1998) |
Paritatodon is an extinct mammaliaform which existed in Kyrgyzstan and England during the Jurassic period.[1] It was originally the holotype specimen of Shuotherium kermacki, but Martin and Averianov (2010)[1] argued that it resembled the genus Itatodon (Docodonta) and so renamed it Paritatodon.
Nonetheless, some recent phylogenetic studies assign it (and Itatodon) to Shuotheriidae,[2] while others continue to consider the taxon a docodont.
Like many Mesozoic mammals, this species is only known from its teeth, in this case two lower molars from the Forest Marble Formation in England,[3] and a single left lower molar from the Balabansai Formation in the Fergana Depression, Kyrgyzstan.[1]
