Phalarodonidae
Phalarodonidae is a family of extinct mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. These animals are known from fossil remains found primarily in North America. They are characterized by a distinctive dentition, particularly the presence of hypsodont molars which are adapted for grinding tough plant material. The snout of Phalarodonidae was relatively short, and their limbs suggest they were capable of both running and browsing.
The evolutionary relationships of Phalarodonidae have been a subject of study, with their placement within Artiodactyla
Fossil evidence indicates that Phalarodonidae were herbivores. The wear patterns on their teeth suggest a diet
