Pogonodon is an extinct genus of the family Nimravidae, subfamily Nimravinae endemic to North America and Eurasia during the Eocene-Miocene epochs (30.8—7.2 mya), existing for approximately 23.6 million years.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Pogonodon was named by Cope (1880). It was synonymized subjectively with Dinictis by Adams (1896) and Macdonald (1970); it was synonymized subjectively with Nimravus by Matthew (1910). It was assigned to Nimravidae by Cope (1880), Merriam (1906), Thorpe (1920), Eaton (1922), Toohey (1959) and Bryant (1996); and to Nimravinae by Flynn and Galiano (1982), Bryant (1991) and Martin (1998).[3][4][5][6]
Morphology
A single specimen was examined by Legendre and Roth for body mass and was estimated to have a weight of 31.2 kg (69 lb).[7]
Species
P. eileenae, P. platycopis (syn. P. cismontanus, P. davisi, P. serrulidens)
