Examples
-
Andrewsarchus as an arctocyonid (like so many Paleogene mammals, arctocyonids are of uncertain affinities - they've traditionally been regarded as condylarths [see previous article] - but they don't seem closely related to mesonychians), and Gingerich (1998) implied that this is at least plausible.
