Abstract:

The recent discovery of ancient weasel (mustelid) fossils in Goldsboro, North Carolina prompted a critical examination of Trigonictis species in the eastern United States. The mustelid was a carnivorous species from the Blancan land mammal age. This article provides a review of the literature, and a discussion of this species’ anatomy and taxonomy.
