Abelodon is an extinct genus of peramurid mammal in the clade Zatheria, dating back to the Barremian stage. It is known from a single tooth found in Cameroon's Koum Formation.[1][2]

Paleoecology

Abelodon lived alongside various archosaurs in the Koum Formation, such as ornithopod dinosaurs like Ouranosaurus, theropods like Spinosaurus, and crocodilians like Araripesuchus.[3]

gollark: I don't actually have a car, but it seems like with the increasing amount of computers in them and requirements for mobile connectivity and such in them, they're moving away from this.

gollark: Generally, I think my things should do what I want and not enforce artificial lockouts on things, randomly break unrepairably, report data back to whoever, run unauditable proprietary software, or do weird stuff in the background.

gollark: Oh, and if I remember right all Teslas are constantly connected over the mobile network to Tesla and can refuse to work if you don't do software updates.

gollark: * one model of car, I mean

gollark: They also had a perfect* and flawless** design where in one car, their console or something had a flash chip in it which could not be replaced and which their terrible software wore out really fast.
