Interesting! Great post.
Dawkins observes that he's surprised no burrowing dinosaur has been fouind, given that burrowing is a way to make a living that, as the linked articles explain, has separately attracted several otherwise unrelated species to convergently evolve.
Perhaps Fruitafossor windscheffelia is part of the answer?

The Fruitafossor has been extinct for 150 million years and here I am. Try again, mammals.
