The Late Jurassic (late Kimmeridgian) multituberculate assemblage from the
Langenberg Quarry in Northern Germany includes Paulchoffatiidae indet., the
pinheirodontid Teutonodon langenbergensis, and Cimbriodon multituberculatus
gen. et sp. nov. of the paulchoffatiid line. A fragmentary m1 that was
formerly attributed to Eobaataridae indet. is now assigned to the
paulchoffatiid line. Teutonodon langenbergensis is one of the largest known
Jurassic multituberculates and most derived known member of
Pinheirodontidae. Cimbriodon multituberculatus, a derived member of the
paulchoffatiid line is characterised by the upper premolars P4 and P5
showing three rows of cusps, with P5 having numerous cusps and being
distinctly longer than P4, and the lower premolars p3 and p4 showing five
serrations with long ridges. The new taxon is unique among
multituberculates by the presence of several lingual cusps on p3 and p4.
Rugosodon from the Late Jurassic of China differs from Paulchoffatiidae or
Pinheirodontidae by seven serrations on p4, significantly reduced buccal
cusps on p4, a p3 that has half the length of p4, and a simple bicuspid I3,
and is referred to the paulchoffatiid line. Allodontidae is known only from
western North America, Paulchoffatiidae and Pinheirodontidae only from
Western and Central Europe (Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, and Germany).
Plagiaulacidae is known from the earliest Cretaceous of Great Britain and
of western North America.
