👉 Microconodonts are a group of small to medium-sized marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in North America. They were characterized by their smaller size and more slender body structure, with a modified skull that was adapted for feeding on planktonic animals. Microconodonts were widespread throughout North America, from western Canada to southern Mexico, and they are thought to have been primarily terrestrial animals, scavengers or predators.
