I believe the former is an early Tertiary marsupial from Australia (the
Tingamurra site in Queensland), and apparently a very primitive dasyuromorph
(S. Wroe, from my old Alma Mater, might want to elaborate on this :-) ).
_Pulchrapollia_ (I think) is an early Tertiary bird - some sort of
psittaciform (or psittaciform relative).
