Daphoenus vetus (Leidy 1853; Middle Eocene to Middle Miocene, 37-16mya). A traditiional bear-dog = Amphicyonid, this long-legged, long abdomen, mid-sized predator dug burrows for offspring nesting and hiding sites. Here flat-footed Daphoenus nests outside the Carnivora, possibly a pre-placental. Note: the mounts shown here are digitigrade, not plantigrade.

Protictitherium crassum (Kretzoi 1938; Koufos and Konidaris 2011; Miocene-Pliocene) is traditionally considered a hyena-like civet. Civets are not related to hyenas in the LRT.. Here Protictitherium nests with Vulpavus, a basal placental.

Machaeroides eothen (Matthew 1909; Eocene, 56mya) has been difficult to nest, with some experts labeling this genus close to Oxyaena, a marsupial creodont. Here Machaeroides nests with Protictitherium and Daphoenus based on nmnhpaleobiology_338172 in the collection of the Smithsonian.
