Mesozoic deposits of the former Gondwanaland are depauperate in early mammals, in general, and multituberculate mammals, in particular. Until now, the oldest multituberculate mammals known from the Gondwanan continents come from the Early Cretaceous of Morocco, NW Africa. Here, we report the presence of a new multituberculate mammal, Indobaatar zofiae gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower/Middle Jurassic Kota Formation, Pranhita-Godavari valley in peninsular India. This is the first record of a…

Largest known Mesozoic multituberculate from Eurasia and implications for multituberculate evolution and biology

TLDR
The phylogenetic analysis based on craniodental characters places Yubaartar as the immediate outgroup of Taeniolabidoidea, a group consisting of a North American clade and an Asian clade, which indicates at least a faunal interchange of multituberculates before the K-Pg transition.

TLDR
Baidabatyr, gen. nov., is another relict taxon in the Early Cretaceous mammal fauna of the Ilek Formation, otherwise dominated by docodontans, eutriconodonts, and symmetrodontans.

Second specimen of Corriebaatar marywaltersae from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia confirms its multituberculate affinities

A reevaluation of the basal turtle Indochelys spatulata from the Early–Middle Jurassic (Toarcian–Aalenian) of India, with descriptions of new material

TLDR
The phylogenetic analysis affirms the placement of Indochelys spatulata as a basal mesochelydian, but cannot resolve its relationships relative to the roughly coeval Condorchelys antiqua and Kayentachelys aprix.

Multituberculate mammals from near the Early-Late Cretaceous boundary, Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah

TLDR
The oldest well-sampled multituberculate assemblage from the Cretaceous of North America is described and it is suggested that Cimolodontidae may have arisen from a clade within the 'Paracimexomys group', independent of ptilodontoids.

TLDR
A number of new specimens representing an assemblage of at least six taxa are recovered from the Wessex Formation, including a well-preserved plagiaulacoid multituberculate left m1 and a similarly preserved left I3, which permits diagnosis of a new species of eobaatarid, Eobaatar clemensi sp.
