Didelphodon
''Didelphodon'' (meaning "two womb tooth") is a genus of stagodont metatherians from the Late Cretaceous of North America.〔 ==Description== Although perhaps little larger than a Virginia opossum, it was a large mammal for Mesozoic standards. The teeth have specialized bladelike cusps and carnassial notches, indicating that the animal was a predator; the jaws are short and massive and bear enormous, bulbous premolar teeth which appear to have been used for crushing.〔 A recently found specimen, located just away from a ''Triceratops'' in a riverbed, shows the anatomy of ''Didelphodon''. Before the find, only a lower jaw and a partial skull were assigned to the species. This new find shows that ''Didelphodon'' possessed an otter-like body with a tasmanian devil-like skull. A study that is being prepared by Kraig Derstler, Greg Wilson, Robert Bakker, Ray Vodden and Mike Triebold will describe this new specimen, housed in the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center.〔
