Paulchoffatia

Paulchoffatia is a genus of extinct mammal of the Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous.

It was a relatively early member of the also extinct order Multituberculata, within the suborder "Plagiaulacida" and family Paulchoffatiidae.

Paulchoffatia is characterized by a massive Corpus mandibulae (the part of the jaw below the tooth row), a rounded lower margin of the jaw and a massive, only slightly curved and steeply inclined incisor with a short root", (Hahn & Hahn 2000, p. 105).

Remains of the species Paulchoffatia delgadoi were found in the Kimmeridgian (Upper Jurassic)-age strata of Guimarota, Portugal.

Further material of this genus, though very possibly not this species, has been reported from the Lower Cretaceous location of Galve, Spain.
