Mammal Phylogeny Mesozoic Differentiation, Multituberculates, Monotremes, Early Therians, and Marsupials

Mammal Phylogeny Mesozoic Differentiation, Multituberculates, Monotremes, Early Therians, and Marsupials / edited by Frederick S. Szalay, Michael J. Novacek, Malcolm C. McKenna.

The roots of this book and its sister volume, Mammal Phylogeny: Placentals, go back to discussions and plans, shelved for a while, between F. S. Szalay and W. P. Luckett during the international and multidisciplinary symposium on rodent evolution sponsored by NATO, July 2-6, 1984, in Paris. That con...
