Triconolestesis an extinct genus ofLate Jurassiceutriconodontmammal from theMorrison Formation,present in stratigraphic zones 4.[1]Known from only a single molar, it is a small mammal typically considered anamphilestid.[2][3]However, it has also been compared toArgentoconodon,[2]which has been considered avolaticothererelated to gliding mammals such asVolaticotheriumandIchthyoconodon.[4][5]
