Abstract

Early suckler? One trait that is unique to mammals is milk suckling. Suckling requires the presence of stability and motion in the throat, both of which require a complex hyoid apparatus. Zhou et al. describe a mammaliform docodontan fossil from the Jurassic that was preserved with a nearly intact hyoid (see the Perspective by Hoffmann and Krause). The structure is complex and saddle shaped, like that seen in modern mammals, suggesting that a muscularized throat was present before the development of mammals.
