Discovery and naming[edit]
The holotype is MSM-141-4s, a posterior dentary, which was described by Malkani et al. (2019).[1]
Classification[edit]
Malkani (2019) classified Mirvitakri as the oldest known member of Hippomorpha,[1] while later authors consider it to be a possible mammal of uncertain classification.
