Crusafontia
Temporal range: Early CretaceousScientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Subclass: Theria Order: Dryolestida Family: Dryolestidae Genus: Crusafontia Crusafontia is an extinct genus of Mesozoic mammal.
Crusafontia was a 10 cm (4 in) long creature that may have looked and lived like a squirrel, but this is uncertain, as only a few teeth have ever been found.[1]
The name of the animal has been given in honour of the Spanish paleontologist Miquel Crusafont Pairó.
