Taxonomy
Eobaatar clemensi was named by Sweetman (2009). Its type specimen is BMNH M 45482, a tooth (a well preserved left m1 tooth crown), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Bed L9, northwest of Grange Chine, which is in a Barremian crevasse splay conglomerate in the Wessex Formation of the United Kingdom.

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. C. Sweetman 2009Autapomorphy: m1 with two crescentic lingual cusps and three labial cusps of which the mesial−most two comprise blunt cones (m1 unknown for Eobaatar minor, E. hispanicus, Hakusanobaatar, and Tedoribaatar). Resembles Bolodon osborni and E. magnus in possession of a distal−most labial cusp comprising a complex structure incorporating pits, grooves and ridges. The lingual margin is convex, shorter than the straight labial margin and the distal margin lies at an acute angle distally to the mesiodistal axis of the crown. Differs from Loxaulax and Janumys but resembles E. magnus and Bolodon in possession of two lingual cusps. Differs from E. magnus in lack of subdivision of mesial lingual cusp. Differs from Bolodon but resembles Eobaatar and Loxaulax in the degree of asymmetry of the crown (less asymmetric in Bolodon). Differs from Eobaatar but resembles Loxaulax and Bolodon in possession of three labial cusps. Differs from Loxaulax in complex morphology of the distal−most labial cusp. Where known, differs from Paracimexomys group cimolodontans in confinement of coalescence of cusps and cusp ornamentation to the distal−most labial cusp. Differs from Arginbaatar in cusp morphology and possession of ornamented enamel (m1 incompletely known for Ameribaatar).
