Some workers have followed Van Valen in regarding _Protungulatum_ as an 
arctocyonid, at least provisionally (e.g. Lillegraven, 1998).  Another 
approach is to regard this genus as an ungulate (or ungulatomorph) incertae 
sedis (e.g. McKenna and Bell, 1997; Archibald, 1998). >>

Okay, but I've read both Lillegraven and Van Valen's stuff, and there's 
definitely latest Cretaceous dating here.
