Dryolestida is an extinct order of mammals known from the Jurassic and Tertiary. It has been suggested that these mammals are either the possible ancestors of therian mammals or an offshoot from the same evolutionary line. It is also believed that they developed a fully mammalian jaw and also had the three middle ear bones. Other than that, not much is know about them, this is because their fossils are made up mostly of jaw and tooth remains.
