Philotrox is an extinct genus of bone crushing omnivorous mammal similar to a dog of the family Canidae) which inhabited North America during the Oligocene living from 30.8—26.3 Ma and existed for approximately 4.5 million years. [1]
Taxonomy
Philotrox was named by Merriam (1906). Its type is Philotrox condoni. It was assigned to Canidae by Merriam (1906) and Carroll (1988).[2] Only a single species, Philotrox condoni, is recognized.
Morphology
