Dawsonicyon
''Dawsonicyon'' ("Dawson's dog") is an extinct genus of placental mammals from clade Carnivoraformes, that lived in North America during middle Eocene. Fossils of type species ''Dawsonicyon isami'' are known from the ‘Bridger B’, site of Black’s Fork member of the Bridger Formation in Wyoming, and includes an almost complete skeleton (holotype DMNH 19585). Phylogeny The phylogenetic relationships of genus ''Dawsonicyon'' are shown in the following cladogram: See also * Mammal classification * Carnivoraformes References † A dagger, obelisk, or obelus is a typographical mark that usually indicates a footnote if an asterisk has already been used. The symbol is also used to indicate death (of people) or extinction (of species). It is one of the modern descendan ...

Carnivoraformes
Carnivoraformes ("carnivoran-like forms") is a clade of placental mammals that includes the modern order Carnivora and its extinct stem-relatives. Classification and phylogeny Classification In 2010 Flynn, Finarelli & Spaulding named a new clade Carnivoraformes within Carnivoramorpha, containing carnivorans and "miacids" but not viverravids. The authors defined Carnivoraformes as the clade containing Carnivora and all taxa that are more closely related to Carnivora (represented by ''Canis lupus'') than to viverravids (represented by '' Viverravus gracilis''). * ''Clade'': Carnivoraformes ** Order: Carnivora (carnivorans) *** Suborder: Caniformia ("dog-like" carnivorans) *** Suborder: Feliformia ("cat-like" carnivorans) ** Family: † Quercygalidae ** (unranked): †''Gracilocyon''/''Oodectes'' clade *** Genus: †'' Eogale'' *** Genus: †''Gracilocyon''(paraphyletic genus) *** Genus: †''Oodectes''(paraphyletic genus) *** Genus: †''Paramiacis'' *** Genus: †''Paroode ...

Miacis Sp
''Miacis'' is a genus of extinct carnivorous mammals that appeared in the late Paleocene and continued through the Eocene. The genus ''Miacis'' is not monophyletic but a diverse collection of species that belong to the stemgroup within the Carnivoramorpha.Wesley-Hunt, G.D.; Flynn J.J. (2005). Phylogeny of the Carnivora: Basal Relationships Among the Carnivoramorphans, and Assessment of the Position of 'Miacoidea' Relative to Carnivora. ''Journal of Systematic Palaeontology'', 3: 1-28. As such, most ''Miacis'' species belong to the group of early carnivores that represent the ancestors of the modern order, the crown-group Carnivora. However, the species ''Miacis cognitus'' (now ''Gustafsonia'') is placed not in the stem-group but among the Caniformia,Spaulding, M.; Flynn J.J.; Stucky, R.K.
