About this book

The introductory part includes the basic framework that defines a mammal, the general morphology, phylogeny and classification, geographical distribution and to the history of the environment, plus mammal chronology. In particular, this volume highlights morphological features and gives an introduction to middle ear bone morphology, as well as the use of CT scans to determine intracranial contents, nose, and inner ear structures. In addition to the basics of the mammal classification system, some new higher-order mammal taxa and related disputes topics are briefly described. In the "Chinese Ancient Mammal Research History" section, some of the major events, research results and research staff are documented. A total of 54 genera and 63 species of Mesozoic mammals are described. Each type species is accompanied by pictures, and summaries of disputed higher-order taxa is given.
