Abstract
Surprising new fossils - a skeleton and a jaw - give us a much clearer picture of mammals that lived during the time of non-avian dinosaurs; the new finds illuminate the early evolution of the lineage leading t o modern mammals, and challenge traditional understanding of placental mammal evolution and biogeography.
