}} Asiadelphia ("Asian opossum") is an order of Cretaceous Metatherians. Different from the Ameridelphia, they lacked a prominent distolateral process on the scaphoid, and possessed a more slender fibula. The masseteric fossa is deeper in this group than the true Marsupials. Further readingZofia Kielan-Jaworowska, Richard L.
