Triconolestes is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic eutriconodont mammal from the Morrison Formation, present in stratigraphic zones 4. [1] Known from only a single molar, it is a small mammal typically considered an amphilestid. [2] [3] However, it has also been compared to Argentoconodon, [2] which has been considered a volaticothere related to gliding mammals such as Volaticotherium and Ichthyoconodon. [4] [5]
