Pseudotribos ("false chewing") is an extinct genus of mammal that lived in Northern China during the Middle Jurassic some 165 million years ago, possibly was more closely related to monotremes than to placental or marsupial mammals,[1] although other studies recover shuotheres are closer to therians than monotremes.[2][3] The only known specimen was found in the Daohugou Bed in Inner Mongolia (41°18′N 119°12′E / 41.3°N 119.2°E: paleocoordinates 42°36′N 122°24′E / 42.6°N 122.4°E).[4][5]
