The question of whether Morganucodonta should be regarded as mammals or as Mammaliaformes (and ancestral to mammals) is still subject to debate. Proponents of the latter view restrict Mammalia to the crown group of all modern mammals. For more detail, see   Morganucodonta § Classification on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
