Brasilodonts
Com fósseis ocorrendo apenas em território brasileiro, correspondem ao mais antigo registro de cinodontes com feições mamalianas conhecido no mundo. De pequeno porte e possivelmente noturnos, eram animais de dieta insetívora. Sua dentição intercalava duas fases: uma temporária ("dentes de leite") e uma permanente.
With fossils occurring only in Brazilian territory, they represent the oldest record of true mammalian cynodonts known in the world. Small - and possibly nocturnal animals - they were insectivorous. His dentition alternated between two phases: temporary ("baby teeth") and a permanent.
