From HandWiki
Pozodolops is an extinct monotypic genus of wamradolopid metatherian that lived in South America during the Eocene and Oligocene epochs.
Description
Pozodolops was extremely small in body mass, weighing between 3 and 55 g. It had an extremely long P3 and P3 relative to M1 and M1 respectively. Its molars were bunodont, with its maxillary molars possessing metaconules that were large in size and lingually displaced, though that did not reach the level of the protocone lingually. The metaconules also had a developed postmetaconular crest, while lacking a premetaconular crest or possessing only a very small one.[1]
