Triconodontidae is an extinct family of actively mobile mammal, endemic to what would be North America, Europe, Africa and probably also South America and Asia during the Jurassic through Cretaceous periods at least from 190—70.6 mya. They are distinguished from amphilestids and gobiconodontids due to their occlusion patterns: instead of interlocking mollars, triconodontids fit their teeth more directly, with lower cusp "a" occluding anteriorly to upper cusp "A", between "A" and "B".
