Trailer: Monty Python and the Holy Grail as a serious action drama A lot of "The Holy Grail" is pretty grim, so with some serious music and judicious edits, it works pretty seamlessly as a serious movie. March 14, 2018 at 04:32PM

The genus was first described in 1986 but misidentified as a member of Multituberculata, an extinct group of rodent-like mammals, on the basis of a single tooth, a low-crowned molar. It is thought to have had a small body mass, about 70 g (2.5 oz), and may have eaten insects and plant material. Its remains have been found in two geological formations of present-day southern Argentina, where it is part of a mammal fauna that includes the sudamericid Gondwanatherium and a variety of dryolestoids.
