Dormaalocyon latouri (previously known as 'Miacis' latouri), was a species of carnivorous mammal that existed over fifty-six million years ago. This species is one of the oldest carnivorous mammals that can be traced all the way to present day Carnivora.[2][3][4]
The species was discovered when fossils were unearthed in the village of Dormaal, near Zoutleeuw, in the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant.[4] The discovery was first published in January 2014 in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.[4]
