368368Notostylops (†Notostylops Ameghino, 1897)
Order: †Notoungulata
Suborder: †Notoprogonia
Family:†Notostylopidae
Temporal range: Early-Late Eocene (Casamayoran-Divisaderan) ~48.6–37.2 Ma (South America)
Dimensions: length - 75 cm, height - 30 сm, weight - 10 kg
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.
