Kronokotherium

Kronokotherium is an extinct herbivorous marine mammal of the genus Desmostylia of the family Desmostylidae.

Its type locality is Raktinskaya, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia (55.0°N 161.6°E / 55.0; 161.6, paleocoordinates 55.7°N 163.0°E / 55.7; 163.0).

Kronokotherium was made a separate genus because the specimen differs from Desmostylus in the arrangement of the major molar cusps and its smaller size, but it has been synonymized with Desmostylus by most authors.
