Biology:Triisodontidae
Triisodontidae is an extinct probably paraphyletic family of hoofed mammals. Most triisodontid genera lived during the Paleocene in North America, but the genus Andrewsarchus (if it is a mesonychian, and not an artiodactyl) is known from the middle Eocene of Asia.[1] Triisodontids were the first relatively large predatory mammals to appear in North America following the extinction of the non-bird dinosaurs.[2] They differ from mesonychians in having less highly modified teeth.[3]
Because of their similar tooth morphology, triisodontids were considered to have been mesonychians by many experts.[3][4][5] However, recent study recovered them outside the order and instead a paraphyletic group of stem-mesonychians.[6] Other studies have found them to be more closely related to ungulates than to mesonychians.[7][8][9]
