A molecular timescale for placental mammals based on the data set from Roca et al. (2004), 13 fossil constraints (Springer et al. 2003), and a mean prior of 105 Mya for the placental root. Divergence estimates are shown for several key superordinal clades (for a full list of divergence times and confidence intervals, see Supplemental Table 2).
