Ptilodus Fossils

Ptilodus is a genus of mammals from the extinct order of Multituberculata, and lived during the Paleocene in North America.
Ptilodus was a relatively large multituberculate of 30 to 50 centimetres (12 to 20 in) in length, which is about the same size as a squirrel. Its feet, legs and long tail suggest it was a good climber, so it very possibly lead a squirrel-like lifestyle.
