Raphignathidae
Raphignathidae is a family of small, extinct mammals that lived during the Eocene epoch, approximately 56 to 34 million years ago. They are known from fossil remains found in Europe, Asia, and North America. The family is characterized by its small size, with most species being no larger than a mouse, and its unique dental structure, which includes a specialized grinding surface on the molars.
The earliest known members of the family are from the early Eocene, and they diversified rapidly during
The exact evolutionary relationships of Raphignathidae are still a topic of debate among paleontologists. Some studies
