Batodonoides (often misspelled as Batonoides) is a genus of extinct shrew-like mammals, which includes a species that is possibly the smallest mammal to have ever lived. Species of Batodonoides lived about Шаблон:Ma during the early to middle Eocene Epoch in North America. The genus contains four species: the type species B. powayensis, the older B. vanhouteni,[1] B. walshi[2] and B. rileyi.[3]
Species
B. powayensis
B. powayensis is based on the type specimen UCMP V-96459, and was a ground dwelling insectivore.[4] This species is younger than its counterpart, B. vanhouteni, existing between approximately Шаблон:Ma. It is based on fossilised remains recovered from California, USA.[5]
B. vanhouteni
Based on the size of its molar teeth, it is estimated that Batodonoides vanhouteni may have weighed only 0.93-1.82 grams (with 1.3 g most likely). The species lived about 53 million years ago during the early Eocene Epoch in North America.[1]
B. vanhouteni, described in 1998 by Bloch and colleagues, is the oldest species, and was discovered in Wasatchian deposits in Wyoming, USA.[5] It is based on a juvenile specimen, consisting of a mandible and some teeth.[1]
