Is this maybe part of the Ornithorhyncidae?--216.228.163.41 02:31, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Working?

"The holotype is a right mandible, which seems to work at the Australian Museum."

Um? Does the fossil... have a job, or...? DS 23:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mammal? Monotreme?

(same as for the Kollikodon) I do not see any sources claiming classification of the species into mammals while the article is going into even more details putting it into monotreme mammals. I would like to see how one have proved the method of birth-giving just from few fossilized teeth.

If it is someone with a scientific reputation making assumptions based on similarities with living mammals and/or DNA-analysis, it would be fine but has to be properly stated! -- Goldie (tell me) 19:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
