Additional information
Paljara tirarense was a small ringtail possum (family Pseudocheiridae) from the early Miocene of South Australia and northwestern Queensland. Ringtail possums were once much more diverse than they are today, distributed across many now-dry parts of Australia that were forested during the Cainozoic.
