Mimetodon is a small mammal from the Paleocene (Torrejonian to Tiffanian in the NALMA classification) of North America and perhaps Europe. It was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata within the suborder Cimolodonta and family Neoplagiaulacidae.

The genus Mimetodon was named by Jepsen G.L. in 1940. It has also been known as Ectypodus (partly); Mesodma (partly); Neoplagiaulax (partly). McKenna and Bell (1997) lists possible material from the Upper Paleocene(?) of Europe.

Species

The species Mimetodon churchilli was named by Jepsen G.L. in 1940. Remains were found in the Tiffanian (Middle Paleocene)-age beds of Princeton Quarry in Wyoming (United States). The holotype is in the collection of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University.

The species Mimetodon krausei was named by Sloan R.E. in 1981. Remains were found in the Torrejonian Nacimiento Formation of the San Juan Basin of New Mexico (United States). This holotype is also in the collection of the Peabody Museum, Yale.

The species ? Mimetodon nanophus was named by Holtzman in 1978. It has also been known as Neoplagiaulax nanophus (Holtzman 1978). Remains were found in the Middle-Upper Paleocene-aged Tongue River Formation in North Dakota (United States). This might be the same as M. silberlingi.

The species Mimetodon silberlingi was named by Simpson G.G. in 1935 and Schiebout in 1974 from the Ravenscrag Formation in Saskatchewan. It has also been known as Ectypodus? silberlingi (Simpson 1935d); Mesodma silberlingi (Van Valen & Sloan 1966); and ?M. nanophus. Remains were found in the Torrejonian-Tiffanian (Middle Paleocene)-age Fort Union Formation in the Gidley Quarry and Douglass Quarry of Montana and in the Polecat Bench Formation of Wyoming, the Sentinel Butte Formation of North Dakota, Black Peaks Formation of Texas and the Paskapoo and Coalspur Formations of Alberta, Canada. This species weighed an estimated 20 grams (0.71 oz).
