Tinodontidae is an extinct family of actively mobile mammal, endemic to what would now be North America, Asia, Europe, and Africa during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Tinodontidae was named by Marsh (1887). It was assigned to Mammalia by Marsh (1887); and to Symmetrodonta by McKenna and Bell (1997).[3] More recently, they have been recovered as more basal to symmetrodonts, though still within the mammalian crown-group.[4]
