Djadochtatherioidea is a superfamily of
mammals known from the upper Cretaceous and Paleocene[1] of what is now Central Asia, North America and Europe. They were members of the order Multituberculata. These were very ecologically diverse; several were jerboa-like hoppers,[2] while others like Mangasbaatar were large sized and fossorial.[3] Unusually for multituberculates, some of this group are represented by very good remains. All upper Cretaceous Mongolian multituberculates are included with one exception, the genus Buginbaatar
.
This superfamily is further subdivided into three families and several other
suborder of Cimolodonta
.
Djadochtatherioidea was established by Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska and Jørn Hurum in 2001 as a replacement for the previously proposed Djadochtatheria that they had proposed in 1997. Shared characteristics of the group are
