Palaearctonyx ("ancient bear's claw") is an extinct genusofomnivorous placental mammals from clade Carnivoraformes, that lived in North America from the early to middle Eocene.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Classification and phylogeny[edit]

Classification[edit]

Palaearctonyx was named by Matthew in 1909 and it was assigned to family Miacidae. Later, it was assigned to Caniformia by Flynn and Galiano in 1982,^[6] and then back to Miacidae by Flynn in 1998.^[4] From 2010 and later, this genus was assigned to clade Carnivoraformes.^[7]^[8]^[9]
