Metapterodon: Regions, Overview & Classification and phylogeny

Metapterodon ("next to Pterodon") is an extinct genus of hyainailourid hyaenodonts of the subfamily Hyainailourinae, that lived in Africa during the early Oligocene to early Miocene. Fossils of Metapterodon were recovered from Egypt, Uganda, Elisabeth Bay Formation in Namibia, Nagri Formation in Pakistan, and Rusinga Island and Karungu in Kenya.
