- Title
Chrysochloridae (Mammalia) from the Lutetian (Middle Eocene) of Black Crow, Namibia.
- Authors

- Abstract
The freshwater and carbonatitic limestones at Black Crow, Sperrgebiet, Namibia, have yielded an interesting mammalian and non-marine molluscan fauna of Lutetian age. Among the mammals found in 2007 were a primitive arsinoithere, a hyracoid, some creodonts and rodents, as well as a macroscelidid and a possible sloth-like animal (Xenarthra). Further work has led to the recovery of a few additional mammalian fossils, including the earliest known chrysochlorid which comprises the focus of the present study. A new genus and a new species are erected for this early chrysochlorid.
