Sarkastodon
''Sarkastodon'' is an extinct genus within the family Oxyaenidae that lived during the upper Eocene, approximately 35 million years ago. It was a large, carnivorous animal that lived in what is today Mongolia.〔 ''Sarkastodon'' is known only from a skull and jawbones. ''Sarkastodon'', like creodonts in general, was probably a hypercarnivore that preyed on large mammals in its range during the Late Eocene, such as brontotheres, chalicotheres, and rhinoceroses. == Discovery == The type specimens of ''S. mongoliensis'' are known from Eocene deposits from the Irdin Manha Formation of Mongolia. Additional material referred to ''Sarkastodon'' is known from the Ulan Shireb beds (100 miles away from the holotype locality) of Inner Mongolia. These specimens were discovered by Dr. Garber in 1930, on an expedition to the Gobi Desert.〔
