Cranial osteology of Cynodictis (Amphicyonidae), the oldest European carnivoran Open
The amphicyonids, colloquially called ‘beardogs’, are one of the oldest known groups of caniformians, taking part in the initial radiation of this carnivoran clade. While the oldest American occurrences from the Middle Eocene have been inv…
