Abstract
This paper describes two new mammalian taxa from the basal Eocene Cambay Shale deposits of the Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat, western India. One of these, a hyaenodontid creodont, pertains to a new taxon based on several dentaries (Indohyaenodon raoi n. gen. & n. sp.), and the other is an unnamed condylarth, possibly an arctocyonid, with a tribosphenic, bunodont upper molar morphology. The new finds augment the diversity of the Vastan mammal fauna significantly.
