Didolodus multicuspis

Osteichthyes - Panameriungulata - Didolodontidae

Taxonomy
Didolodus multicuspis was named by Ameghino (1897) [According to Gelfo (2010), the provenance of the types of some of Ameghino's synonyms is uncertain, but all modern specimens come from the Barrancan of the Sarmiento Formation.]. Its type specimen is MACN 10690, a maxilla (left maxillary fragment with P2–M3 and alveoli of P1 and C), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Casamayoran of Patagonia, which is in a Casamayoran terrestrial horizon in Argentina. It is the type species of Didolodus.
