👉 The term "brachycephalobombus" is a name for a type of extinct mammal. It was a group of small, skull-like mammals that lived during the Paleogene period around 20 million years ago (pre-Holocene). These species were primarily found in Africa and Europe. Their fossil remains are known from a few sites across the continent, including Cave D135 in Ethiopia, which is thought to be one of the oldest fossils ever discovered.
