Fruitafossor was a termite-eating mammal endemic to North America during the Late Jurassic epoch, existing for approximately
4.9 million years. The description is based on a surprisingly complete skeleton of a chipmunk-sized animal. It was discovered
on March 31, 2005, in Fruita, Colorado. It resembled an armadillo and probably ate colonial insects in much the same manner
as these animals do today.
