Nujalikodon

Nujalikodon is a genus of mammaliaform from the Rhætelv Formation of central East Greenland. It dates to the Late Triassic, making it the oldest definitive docodontan. It is known from a fragment of jaw with a single preserved molar tooth.

Etymology

Nujalikodon is named after Nujalik, the goddess of hunting
on land in Inuit mythology, and the suffix '-odon' meaning tooth. The name for the type species N. cassiopeiae, comes from the cusp pattern in the tooth, which resembles the
arrangement of the stars in the constellation Cassiopeia.
