Draft:Pseudocricetodontinae

= Pseudocricetodontinae = Pseudocricetodontinae is a clade/subfamily of now extinct Muridae, a family from which all true mice are from. Pseudocricetodontinae were local to the 'Eurasia' area, more specially were common in south-east of Siberia.

History
These mice were probably the first rodent during the late Eocene or early Oligocene in age to be in balkan area. The name Pseudocricetodontinae was coined by Burkart Engesser, a Swiss palaeontologist and zoologist, in 1987.

Taxonomy
There has been a lot of debate over the evolution of Pseudocricetodontinae (as is the case with many mice). Many palaeontologists have been working on following the evolution of Pseudocricetodontinae. Some of the way that these palaeontologists have been trying to identify the taxonomy of this clade, is using their:

Lots of mammals can be identifies by their molars and other parts of their mouth. All mammals have what are known as cheek teeth, such as molars that are adapted to accomplish certain tasks. These teeth can be essential for tracking the evolution of mammals, and is often used to identify rodents.
 * Molars and teeth enamel;
 * Hollows in the cheek;
 * The cusps in the cheeks.

Identifying this taxonomy has been a slightly challenging task as all of this information is coming from the rare fossils of these mice.

The exact taxonomy is as follows:

Domain - Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Super Family - Family - Subfamily

Eukaryra - Animalia - Chordata - Mamilla - Rodenta -  Muroidea - Muridae - Pseudocricetodontinae
