Martinogale is an extinct genus of skunk from the Late Miocene of central North America.[1] There exist three accepted species, M. alveodens, M.chisoensis and M. faulli, which may have overlapped in range but occupied somewhat distinct moments of the Late Miocene.[1][2][3] As well as the dubious Martinogale? nambiana.
