In 2009
Bernard Sigé et al. described a marsupial fossil found on the
Eocene Murgon fossil site,
Queensland. Referring to the specimen as
Chulpasia jimthorselli, they exhibited this find as an example of
Gondwanan faunal interchange between
South America and
Australia during the early
Paleogene. However, more recent re-evaluations showcase that this specimen has nothing referrable to
Chulpasia or any of its close relatives, and instead identified it as a
metatherian
incertae sedis. For now, the genus, as well as
paucituberculates in general, remain exclusively South American. == References ==
