Badjcinus was one of the most primitive members of its group, living 23 to 28 million years ago in the late Oligocene.[1] The generic name is from the Wanyi Aboriginal language "badj", 'expert hunter', and Ancient Greek "kynos", 'dog' Badjcinus was quite small, averaging {{convert|5.2|lb|kg}} in weight. It was a carnivore, probably eating small vertebrates and insects, as living Dasyurus species do today. The fossils were found at Riversleigh in north-west Queensland, Australia. Since other animals at Riversleigh were rainforest species, it is possible that B. turnbulli was arboreal, like Dasyurus maculatus.[1]References1. ^1 2 Muirhead and Wroe, 1998. Bibliography
