Temporal range: Paleocene
Scientific classification Edit this classification
Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Condylarthra
Family: Pleuraspidotheriidae
Genus: Orthaspidotherium

O. edwardsi
Binomial name
Orthaspidotherium edwardsi

Orthaspidotherium was a European Paleocene genus of early herbivorous mammals of the family Pleuraspidotheriidae. [1] It was included in the family Meniscotheriidae by Teilhard de Chardin in 1921-1922 and was subsequently separated into the family Pleuraspidotheriidae, before being placed in the family Phenacodontidae. [2] The first complete skull of O. edwardsi was described in 2010, and the same paper once again places it in Pleuraspidotheriidae. [1] [3] A 2017 study further reiterates this view. [4]
