No, for two reasons: there just isn't enough interest in these guys to make artists' conceptions likely to appear; and twenty teeth and a tiny piece of jaw just aren't enough to get a good idea of what the animals actually looked like. Most likely, ferugliotheriids were just little mouselike animals,

already evolved the high-crowned teeth characteristic of herbivores, and the subject of this article is a poorly known group that has been key to figuring out the affinities of the sudamericids. I have written GAs about all the members of this group and about several of the sudamericids as part of an

Thanks for reviewing. I've linked cusp. Transverse means from side to side; the cusps on the sides of the tooth are linked by these crests, and furrows separate the cusps and crests from the cusps and crests before and behind them. What do you think is needed as explanation? I could perhaps add a
410:- One minor niggle. What are "transverse crests" and "transverse furrows"? Also, why is cusp linked in the article, but not in the lead? The article does a great job of making technical terms more accessible, in addition to being well-written and as far as I can discern, comprehensive. 117: 173:
effort to document this early and interesting group of mammals. Thanks to Visionholder for conducting the GA review on this article and thanks in advance to anyone reviewing at FAC.
534:- well, er, yeah. I think that can be said of just about any ecosystem anywhere. I understand removing it makes the sentence really stubby but it is nebulous as is. Is there 445:
No, no, I meant the crests and furrows, not transverse. Perhaps it could be useful to include an explanation or link in the article, but it's certainly not a deal breaker.
271:- ha ha ha, just kidding. In all seriousness though, are there any artist conceptions around, something to allow for readers to wrap their heads around this thing? 733:
I spot-checked citations from Goin et al. 2004, Vucetich et al. 2010, and several in Krause et al. 1992; no issues with close paraphrasing or other were evident.

That should have been procumbent, i.e., pointing forward. Not sure whether that's an uncommon enough word to need explanation. Thanks for the review and support.

I notice that "million years ago" is consistently spelled out rather than used an abbreviation (mya), any reason for this?
138: 582:
Thanks for your comments, and apologies for the long delay in responding; I must have totally forgotten about them.

When the dinosaurs were around, mammals weren't just little insect-eating critters in the shadow of the big guys.

The link to multituberculate redirects to Multituberculata, already linked (not sure if this is intentional)

They coexisted with mammals such as dryolestoid and a variety of other animals.

Why are there two Literature entries for Gurovich 2008 and Rougier et al 2009?
711: 316:, with nitpicks and the caveat that I know nothing about the topic. 39:
Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in

Don't include number of pages in Literature cited entries.

I think common practice in biology is to include them.
