A relatively well-preserved rodent fossil, including its incisors, cheek teeth, and postcranial skeleton, was collected from the Baiyin Obo in Siziwang Banner, Nei Mongol. A multifaceted research approach was undertaken in this study to conduct a comprehensive analysis on the newly discovered specimen. Based on a morphological comparison, the new specimen was identified as Hulgana cf. H. ertnia within the Ischyromyidae family. Incisive enamel microstructure analysis revealed the typical pauciserial enamel structure of Hulgana. Bone histological analysis indicates that the specimen represents a juvenile individual, which is consistent with the ontogenetic stage indicated by dental developmental stage and wear pattern. The application of geometric morphometrics to the calcaneus and bone histology of the femur and phalanx further substantiates the taxonomic classification of Hulgana as a terrestrial and cursorial rodent, exhibiting a degree of fossorial ability. This classification is analogous to that of certain extant cricetids and ground squirrels.
