Notostylops is a genus of extinct South American ungulate from Eocene Argentina. 
Notostylops was a very generalized animal, very similar to first eutherians and ungulates. It would have resembled a raccoon or weasel animal and is suspected to have browsed on low-growing plants. Notostylops was a generalised animal, likely adapted to a fairly wide range of ecological niches, but its robustness indicates it have same digging traits. Its tall skull housed rodent-like incisor teeth.

Весьма примитивный эоценовый "южнокопытник". А чем он питался?..
