Classification

Known from only six fossil teeth, Montanalestes is an example of the less well-preserved early eutherians found on the northern hemisphere, apparently more closely related to later eutherians than Prokennalestes, and Murtoilestes.[1][2]

gollark: ```haskellz :: (t1 -> t1 -> t2 -> t3) -> t1 -> (t1 -> (t1 -> t1 -> t2 -> t3) -> t2) -> t3z x y z = x y y (z y x)```
gollark: Ah, but it does, because I defined Z earlier.
gollark: This advanced Notcombinator™ allows... safe encapsulation of... something... or maybe not.
gollark: Well, technically a notcombinator.
gollark: ```haskells :: t1 -> (((t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t2 -> (t2 -> (t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t3) -> t4) -> t1 -> (IO a -> a) -> t5) -> t5s x k = k z x unsafePerformIO```Is this combinator Turing-complete?
