Adalatherium hui Project ID: 0000C1111 Public
94 Media · 1 Specimen · Creator: Krause, David, Hoffmann, Simone · Managed by: Simone Hoffmann, Joseph Groenke, Patrick OConnor, David Krause

Adalatherium hui is a latest Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) gondwanatherian mammal based on only one specimen, a virtually complete, articulated, and well-preserved skull and postcranial skeleton. The specimen is the most complete and best preserved of any mammaliaform from the Mesozoic of the southern supercontinent Gondwana. It was discovered in the Anembalemba Member of the Maevarano Formation in the Mahajanga Basin of northwestern Madagascar. The holotype specimen includes the only complete lower jaw and the only postcranial remains known for Gondwanatheria, which, other than the cranium of Vintana sertichi (also from the latest Cretaceous of Madagascar), are represented only by isolated teeth and fragmentary dentaries. Despite being represented by an immature individual, A. hui is third only to V. sertichi and Coloniatherium cilinskii as the largest Mesozoic mammaliaform (based on body fossils) from Gondwana.
