Most early mammal species are identified by peculiar cusps, bumps or points on their teeth. This will come as a shock to some of the participants on these threads -- well, one in particular -- who keep proclaiming that mammary glands are the only TRUE mark of a mammal, early or modern.
New motto: bicuspids, not boobies!

Researchers from Germany and Argentina reported in the current issue of the journal Nature that Asfaltomylos belongs to a branch of southern egg-laying mammals that are extinct today except for the platypus and echidna of Australia. It is distantly related to Jurassic mammals found in Madagascar and Tanzania. I can use that in the discussons I have all the time with platypus lawyers who say the monotremes came from nowhere and had no relatives.
Researchers said it suggests that mammals developed independently in the Southern Hemisphere.
But I really didn't need to read that. I hope it's just the science writer blurring up a mess.
