 Averianov , Archibald , and Martin instead placed UA 8699 in the context of faunal similarity and exchange between the late Cretaceous faunas of Europe and Africa , noting the presence of similar animals , such as snakes ( <unk> ) and sauropods ( Lirainosaurus and <unk> ) , in the Cretaceous faunas of Madagascar and the Spanish locality <unk> . They proposed the relationship between Lainodon , which is from <unk> , and UA 8699 as another example of this relationship and cited a previous prediction by <unk> and <unk> that zhelestids similar to Lainodon would be found in Africa .
