Several mammal s are known from the Mesozoic of Madagascar . The Bathonian middle Jurassic Ambondro genus Ambondro , known from a piece of jaw with three teeth, is the earliest known mammal with molar tooth molars showing the modern, tribosphenic molar tribosphenic pattern that is characteristic of marsupial and placental mammals. Interpretations of its affinities have differed one proposal places it in a group known as Australosphenida with other Mesozoic tribosphenic mammals from the southern continents Gondwana as well as the monotreme s, while others favor closer affinities with northern Laurasia n tribosphenic mammals or specifically with placentals. At least five species are known from the Maastrichtian late Cretaceous , including a yet undescribed species known from a nearly complete skeleton that may represent a completely new group of mammals. The gondwanathere Lavanify , known from two teeth, is most closely related to other gondwanatheres found in India and Argentina. Two other teeth may represent another gondwanathere or a different kind of mammal.
