Adalatherium


Adalatherium is an extinct gondwanatherian that lived on Madagascar during the Cretaceous period, during the Maastrichtian. The discovery of the first nearly-complete Adalatherium skeleton from the Maevarano Formation was announced in April 2020. Adalatherium hui was unusually large for a mammal given the geologic era, at 60 cm long. Its skeleton is the most complete of any Southern Hemisphere Mesozoic mammal. Additionally, the front of the skull contains more foramina than any known mammal.
