Replace “omitted the Hyaenodontidae In 1880 he expanded the term to include families Miacidae including Viverravidae Arctocyonidae Leptictidae now Pseudorhyncocyonidae Oxyaenidae Ambloctonidae and Mesonychidae Cope” with “omitted the Hyaenodontidae In 1880 he expanded the term to include families Miacoidea Miacidae and Viverravidae Arctocyonidae Leptictidae now Pseudorhyncocyonidae Oxyaenidae Ambloctonidae and Mesonychidae Cope”. Replace “Creodonts as a whole began to experience a decline in the Eocene with oxyaenids going extinct.” with “Creodonts began to decline diversity in North America during the Bridgerian Uintan faunal.”.
