Note: Funding Information: The field work has been supported financially by the Department of Earth Sciences (Utrecht University). We gratefully acknowledge the facilities offered by the MTA (Turkish Geological Survey) during our field parties, in particular Ger?ek Sara? is thanked for his support. Pablo Pel?ez-Campomanes (Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid) was most helpful in providing casts of Eucricetodon. The permission of Lawrence Flynn (Harvard University) and Laurent Marivaux (Universit? de Montpellier) to reproduce some figures and to supply photographs is greatly appreciated. The SEM pictures of the cheek teeth were made by Tilly Bouten (Utrecht University) and retouched by Jaap Luteijn (Utrecht University); the SEM photographs of incisor microstructure were made by Hans Meeldijk (Utrecht University). Discussions with Thomas Martin (Bonn University) elucidated the incisor microstructure of Daxneria. Marinus Lockefeer is thanked for his expert Latin advice. This paper benefited from the detailed reviews of Myriam Boivin (Universidad Nacional de San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina) and an anonymous reviewer. Publisher Copyright: © 2020 The Author(s).
