Mammels earlier than thought?


Recommended Posts

On the same note, "Repenomamus" was a rather large mammalian predator that has been recently discovered. Maybe as large as a small dog, with stomach contents that showed it likely preyed on small and/or young dinos. It came from a later era in the cretaceous, but its discovery was similar in magnitude as that of this jurassic "psuedopus," making us rethink our long held thoughts on the place of mammals in the age of the dinosaurs.

 

Does anyone know of any other "large" mammals from those times?
