Paratriisodon: Yes! This mandible is a good match for Andrewsarchus.
And it confirms
the nesting of giant Andrewsarchus (Figs. 1, 2) in the large reptile tree (LRT, 2031+ taxa) with Rhynchocyon (Fig. 1), an elephant shrew small enough to hold in your hand.
There is a good match for the mandible and palate of Paratriisodon,
with giant Andrewsarchus (Fig. 2), but you’ll also find a match with the related small extant elephant shrew, Rhynchocyon, in the LRT. This confirms that hypothesis of interrelationships first reported here in 2016. The validity of any hypothesis is strengthened whenever that hypothesis is able to make predictions like this one.
