Altacreodus

izumrli rod placentalni sisara

Altacreodus (Altakreodus — „kreodont iz Alberte”) je izumrli rod placentalnih sisara iz kladusa Pan-Carnivora, koji je u periodu kasne krede nastanjivao područje Sjeverne Amerike.[2][3]

Istorija klasifikacije uredi

Vrsta Altacreodus magnus je originalno bila opisana kao vrsta Cimolestes magnus unutar izumrlog roda Cimolestes. U istraživanju iz 2015. godine je ova vrsta uvrštena van roda Cimolestes,[1] u zaseban rod izumrli placentalnih sisara kao blizak srodnik izumrlog reda Hyaenodonta[8][9][10][11][1] i u kasnijim istraživanjima kao najbliži srodnik izumrlog roda Tinerhodon.[12][13][14][15] Takođe, rod Altacreodus je prepoznat kao jedan od najstariji znani predstavnika placentalnih sisara, koji su živjeli prije K–Pg izumiranja.[16][17]
