Eozostrodon
Eozostrodon
(Morganucodontiade) is
an extinct Triassic mammal that superficially
resembles a modern shrew. However, its dentition is
immediately recognizable as distinct from any living
mammal. Eozostrodon is typical of the group that
subsequently gave rise to living placental and marsupial
mammals.
