Eotriconodon sophron is an extinct mammal from the Bathonian of England. It has been found in the Kirtlington Mammal bed, a site in Oxfordshire that has wielded numerous mammal fossils.[1]

Description

The holotype is a right lower molar, M46736.[1]

Classification

Although originally compared to Triconodontidae,[1] a more recent study has placed it alongside Sangarotherium and Indotriconodon as closely related to Volaticotherini.[2]
