From HandWiki
Ganguroo is a genus of fossil macropods found at Riversleigh in Australia, material dating from the Early to Late Miocene subepochs.[1] The type species of the genus is Ganguroo bilamina, described in 1997. Two recently described species, Ganguroo bites and Ganguroo robustiter, have also been placed in this genus.
Palaeobiology
Palaeoecology
Three dimensional geometric morphometric analysis shows that Ganguroo was herbivorous rather than omnivorous or fungivorous.[2]
