These adaptations, and concomitant reductions in visual anatomy, evolved during the Mesozoic in the mammalian and therian stem lineages. Here, we present a comparative study of the sensory anatomy of the Late Cretaceous gondwanatherian mammaliaform \u003ci\u003eVintana sertichi\u003c/i\u003e in order to draw inferences regarding its sensory abilities and sensory ecology. Our analyses demonstrate that \u003ci\u003eVintana\u003c/i\u003e has relatively large orbits that may have accommodated large eyes. \u003ci\u003eVintana\u003c/i\u003e also possessed cochlear primary and secondary osseous laminae and a cochlear canal that was relatively longer than in non-mammaliaform cynodonts but shorter than in extant therians. These features suggest that \u003ci\u003eVintana\u003c/i\u003e had some capacity for high-frequency hearing (i.e., \u0026gt;20 kHz), but that its cochlea may have encoded a more limited range of frequencies than the cochleas of most extant therians. The semicircular canals of \u003ci\u003eVintana\u003c/i\u003e have large radii of curvature and are nearly orthogonal, suggesting high sensitivity to angular head accelerations. These vestibular features may have evolved in order to stabilize large eyes during rapid and/or agile locomotion. Combined with evidence for large olfactory bulbs and a large trigeminal endocast, these data reveal that \u003ci\u003eVintana\u003c/i\u003e possessed a unique suite of sensory adaptations that distinguish it from other Mesozoic mammaliaforms. If these inferences are correct, then \u003ci\u003eVintana\u003c/i\u003e was probably a large-eyed and agile species, with a keen sense of smell and better high-frequency hearing than most other Mesozoic mammaliaforms.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at
