Exact excerpt
We report a nearly complete skeleton of an Early Cretaceous eutriconodontan that ... appears to have multiple generations (polyphyodonty) at some loci ... The new fossil shows adaptations for semiaquatic life, with hands and feet like the platypus that were similarly webbed. Its unusual pattern of dorsoventrally flattened tail bones resembles the extant nutria.
