PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Multituberculates are the most commonly represented mammals in Angeac-Charente with nearly fifteen isolated teeth already collected by screening-washing. We follow here the classification of Mesozoic allotherian mammals provided by Kielan-Jaworowska et al. (2004). All teeth are provisionally referred to the Pinherodontidae ( Hahn & Hahn 1999), except for one P4 ( Fig. 33I, J View FIG ) that is very similar to the holotype of Sunnyodon notleyi ( Kielan-Jaworowska & Ensom 1992), and one?P5 that has only two rows of cusps ( Fig. 33 View FIG K-L), whereas there are three in Pinherodontidae ( Hahn & Hahn 1999; Kielan-Jaworowska et al. 2004) and is thus identified as Multituberculata indet. A systematic revision of European Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Multituberculates is beyond the scope of this paper, but it is worthy to note that, for the moment, based only on their morphology, no tooth really suggests the presence of more than two taxa of multituberculates in Angeac-Charente.
