Comment[edit]

(No issues of copyright should exist, because the information comes from MESOZOIC MAMMALS?. The creator of that website has personally contributed data therefrom to Monotrematum and Obdurodon.)

Is this maybe part of the Ornithorhyncidae?--216.228.163.41 02:31, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Working?[edit]

"The holotype is a right mandible, which seems to work at the Australian Museum."

Um? Does the fossil... have a job, or...? DS 23:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mammal? Monotreme?[edit]

(same as for the Kollikodon) I do not see any sources claiming classification of the species into mammals while the article is going into even more details putting it into monotreme mammals. I would like to see how one have proved the method of birth-giving just from few fossilized teeth.

If it is someone with a scientific reputation making assumptions based on similarities with living mammals and/or DNA-analysis, it would be fine but has to be properly stated! -- Goldie (tell me) 19:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

The image is a coati (a relative of raccoons). It's not good image for the article. This one is. --4444hhhh (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

steropodon image[edit]

I have uploaded a steropodon jaw image but I am not able to format it properly on the article page, it is appearing right at the bottom, not looking nice, I hope someone is able to figure out how to properly place it! THanksLilaac (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

The text includes citations by Pascual, and Woodburne (2003), but these works do not appear in the list of references. Old Father Time (talk) 19:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal: Steropodontidae[edit]

The family Steropodontidae includes only one indisputable (type) genus: Steropodon. The phylogenetic position of the second genus, Teinolophos, has never seemed to be well established, and it has recently been proposed to place it in its own family, Teinolophidae [1]. While we shouldn't unconditionally accept any new hypotheses, I don't think it makes sense to create a separate page for such a controversial family. One could simply redirect Steropodontidae to Steropodon and explain the systematic difficulties in the last article. HFoxii (talk) 15:34, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a reasonable request. I say go for it.--Mr Fink (talk) 16:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
