Is this maybe part of the Ornithorhyncidae?--216.228.163.41 02:31, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

"The holotype is a right mandible, which seems to work at the Australian Museum."

Um? Does the fossil... have a job, or...? DS 23:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(same as for the Kollikodon) I do not see any sources claiming classification of the species into mammals while the article is going into even more details putting it into monotreme mammals. I would like to see how one have proved the method of birth-giving just from few fossilized teeth.

If it is someone with a scientific reputation making assumptions based on similarities with living mammals and/or DNA-analysis, it would be fine but has to be properly stated! -- Goldie (tell me) 19:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The image is a coati (a relative of raccoons). It's not good image for the article. This one is. --4444hhhh (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded a steropodon jaw image but I am not able to format it properly on the article page, it is appearing right at the bottom, not looking nice, I hope someone is able to figure out how to properly place it! THanksLilaac (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The text includes citations by Pascual, and Woodburne (2003), but these works do not appear in the list of references. Old Father Time (talk) 19:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The family Steropodontidae includes only one indisputable (type) genus: Steropodon. The phylogenetic position of the second genus, Teinolophos, has never seemed to be well established, and it has recently been proposed to place it in its own family, Teinolophidae [1]. While we shouldn't unconditionally accept any new hypotheses, I don't think it makes sense to create a separate page for such a controversial family. One could simply redirect Steropodontidae to Steropodon and explain the systematic difficulties in the last article. HFoxii (talk) 15:34, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a reasonable request. I say go for it.--Mr Fink (talk) 16:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
