1973 R. F. Ewer Carnivores v. 225 It is impossible to believe that any carnivore could have evolved a dentition of miacid type without some corresponding behavioural adaptations.

1998 Contrib. Mus. Paleontol. Univ. Michigan 30 83 Systematic analysis of these new collections reveals..one new species of miacid carnivore, Vulpavus farsonensis.

1966 R. Morris & D. Morris Men & Pandas viii. 191 About thirty million years ago the ancestors of all the modern carnivores appeared on the scene. These were the miacids and they were small creatures rather like present-day civets.

1997 Jrnl. Paleontol. 71 1172 The phylogenetic relationship of Oodectes to other miacids, and relationships among early Eocene miacids more generally.., are less well resolved.
