Holotype right M3 IVPP V20115 and referred teeth and tarsals from the lower Irdin Manha Formation document a Middle Eocene Mimolagus sample used to test mimotonid anatomy and affinity.
Automated checks cover structure, identifiers, translations and links only; maintainer and external expert review are not complete.
Mimolagus aurorae is bounded by holotype right M3 IVPP V20115 and referred teeth and tarsals from the lower Irdin Manha Formation within an approximately 47.8–41.2 Ma interval; this does not establish a global genus range or direct glires ancestry.
claim:taxon:mimolagus:fossil-rangeRight M3 IVPP V20115 and referred material are assigned to Mimolagus aurorae in the published comparison; mimotonid and lagomorph affinities are matrix- and character-dependent, not direct ancestry.
claim:taxon:mimolagus:taxonomyThe profile is restricted to the lower Irdin Manha Formation sample in the Erlian Basin, Nei Mongol, China; this does not establish the complete distribution or origin centre of Mimolagus or Glires.
claim:taxon:mimolagus:biogeographyDental and tarsal comparisons support herbivory, locomotor and body-mass inferences for the source sample, but direct food use, habitat use and behaviour were not observed.
claim:taxon:mimolagus:ecologyHolotype right upper third molar IVPP V20115 and referred teeth and tarsals directly record the dental and postcranial characters used in Mimolagus comparisons.
