From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drescheratherium is an extinct genus of mammal from the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) Camadas de Guimarota of Leiria, Portugal. It is represented by fairly complete upper jaws with teeth.[1] It bears elongated upper canines, though not to the extent another dryolestoid, Cronopio, does.[2]
