Fitness and scope

range · taxonomy · topology · morphology · biogeography · methods

Primary cranial study and phylogenetic analysis of Peradectes and close metatherian relatives; the approximately 65.18 Ma calibration depends on the recovered crown placement.

Claim ledger

fossil-range · medium

Peradectes-based analyses place a sampled crown-marsupial record by about 65.18 Ma, anchoring the 65.18–0 Ma Marsupialia route; crown placement and biogeographic inferences are analysis-dependent and not an origin date.
