Taxonomy
Oxyacodon was named by Osborn and Earle (1895). Its type is Oxyacodon apiculatus. It was assigned to Periptychidae by Osborn and Earle (1895) and Carroll (1988); and to Conacodontinae by Archibald (1998), Eberle (2003) and Middleton and Dewar (2004).
Fossils have been found dating back to the Puercan stage in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan.
gollark: Nim is quite cool, because it's designed roughly as I would design a programming language, but it also has the disadvantage of being designed roughly as I would design a programming language.
gollark: Anyway, Rust is very robust and cargo is great, but I also take ages to write anything good in it and everything has something like 250 dependencies.
gollark: I really like Lua's concurrency model.
gollark: Definitely, Python has tons of weird special-casing and complex features.
gollark: I looked at Wren, I think it was overly OOPy or something.
