†Nimbadon lavarackorum †Nimbadon scottorrorum †Nimbadon whitelawi Nimbadon is an extinct genus of marsupial, that lived from the Oligocene to the Miocene.
[1] Many fossils have been found in the Riversleigh World Heritage property in north-western Queensland.
Researchers estimate that the first species of Nimbadon first appeared around 25 million years ago[1] and went extinct around 12 million years ago, perhaps from climate change-induced habitat loss.
[3] While originally classified as a member of the family Diprotodontidae, a primarily terrestrial group,[1][2] some later studies suggested a more basal position within the Diprotodontoidea.
