That should read "Dann probably knows more than I do on this topic" 
[Australian dinosaurs].  What I originally wrote just sounded icky....

Anyway, on a totally different matterm, the original _Chronoperates_ 
reference is:

Fox, R.C., Youzwyshyn, G.P., and Krause, D.W. (1992).  Post-Jurassic 
mammal-like reptile
from Palaeocene.  Nature 358: 233-235.

This was rebutted by:

Sues H.D. (1992). No Palaeocene 'mammal-like reptile'. Nature 359: 278.

But the non-mammal cynodont nature of _Chronoperates_ was revived here:

Scott C.R., Fox R.C., and Youzwyshyn G.P. (2002). New earliest Tiffanian 
(late Paleocene) mammals from Cochrane 2, southwestern Alberta, Canada. Acta 
Palaeontologica Polonica 47: 691-704.

The following ref has a few words to say on the matter, hinting at evidence 
that may put _Chronoperates_ in with the (true) mammals:

Meng J., Hu Y., Wang Y., and Li C., (2003), The ossified Meckel's cartilage 
and internal groove in Mesozoic mammaliaforms: implications to origin of the 
definitive mammalian middle ear, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society. 
138: 431-448.
