The earliest known mammal was a shrew-like animal that emerged in the Triassic period with the first dinosaurs, a controversial new study claims.

A Beast Crazy Enough to Live with Dinosaurs At one time, Australia, South America, Antarctica, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula were merged into a supercontinent now known as Gondwana. Scientists are still learning about how mammalian evolution progressed there. Reporting in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, researchers have now described a strange mammal that lived during the time of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. The study is based on a nearly complete skeleton that has been preserved as well or better than any ever found in the southern hemispher...

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology describes a bizarre 66 million-year-old mammal that provides profound new insights into the evolutionary history of mammals from the southern supercontinent Gondwana—recognized today as Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, the Indian subcontinent, and the Arabian Peninsula. Named Adalatherium, which, translated from the Malagasy and Greek languages means "crazy beast," it is described based on a nearly complete, exquisitely preserved skeleton, the most complete for any mammal yet discovered in the southern hemisphere prior to the extinction of th...

As detailed in a new study published last week in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, a 14-member team of international researchers headed up by Dr. David Krause of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Dr. Simone Hoffmann of the New York Institute of Technology described their intensive analysis of the odd, opossum-sized animal that existed near the end of the Cretaceous period on the island of Madagascar.
