TitleShenshou lui foraging in a Sciadopitys tree Contact

Michael Rothman DescriptionA Jurassic era Euharamiyidan mammaliform, Shenshou lui, is depicted foraging in the canopy of a Sciadopithys-related tree.
It is unresolved as to whether Euharamiyidan mammaliformes are in the crown group of mammals or actually advanced cynodonts. Other data indicates that they are ancestral to the Multiturburculate mammals. Morphologically, Shenshou lui may have been an arboreal herbivore with a prehensile tail and is depicted foraging on seed cones of a Sciadopitys-related conifer.
