Gondwanatheria is an extinct group of mammaliaforms that lived in parts of Gondwana, including Madagascar, India, South America, Africa, and Antarctica during the Upper Cretaceous through the Paleogene (and possibly much earlier, if Allostaffia is a member of this group[3]). Until recently, they were known only from fragmentary remains.[4] They are generally considered to be closely related to the multituberculates and likely the euharamiyidians, well known from the Northern Hemisphere, with which they form the clade Allotheria.[5]
