Valentinella

Valentinella is a Late Cretaceous genus of eutherian mammal from France, Europe.^[1] It was originally known from some damaged lower and upper jaws, and was cautiously referred to the lainodontine zhelestid mammals.^[1] This identification was later questioned ^[2] and even considered a nomen dubium by some researchers,^[3] and remains uncertain due to the scarcity and fragmentary nature of the fossils.

Valentinella was the third known Late Cretaceous eutherian mammal genus from Europe, after Labes and Lainodon.^[1] It was found at Vitrolles-La Plaine in the Aix-en-Provence Basin (Maastrichtian in age), in south-eastern France.
