Item The cranial anatomy of Cricetops dormitor, an Oligocene fossil rodent from Mongolia. American Museum novitates ; no. 3275(New York, NY : American Museum of Natural History, 1999) Carrasco, Marc A.; Wahlert, John H.; Mongolian-American Museum Paleontological Project.; Mongolyn Shinzhlėkh Ukhaany Akademi.; Central Asiatic Expeditions (1921-1930)"A description of the cranial, mandibular, and dental morphology of Cricetops dormitor, an Oligocene muroid rodent, is presented. Cricetops exhibits a unique combination of primitive muroid characters (e.g., the presence of a large hystricomorphous infraorbital foramen) and derived muroid characters (e.g., a prominent metacone in the upper third molar) that cloud its taxonomic affiliations. In addition, Cricetops dormitor lacks many characters, including a highly inclined zygomatic plate, that have been used to unite members of the family Muridae. Overall, these results suggest that the phylogenetic position of Cricetops within the Muroidea needs to be reevaluated"--P. [1].Item Tributes to Malcolm C. McKenna : his students, his legacy.
