Kronokotherium

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

Its type locality is Raktinskaya, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia (55°N, 161.6°W, paleocoordinates 55.7°N, 163°W).

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.
