Comments: The age of the fossils of the giant solenodon is unclear, but faunal associations indicate a Quaternary age. The species occurred contemporarily wih Solenodon cubanus and Nesophontes micrus. Morgan and Ottenwalder (1993:161) suggested that, "habitat destruction and predation by dogs, which were introduced into Cuba by pre-Columbian peoples, are more likely explanations for the extinction of the giant Cuban Solenodon"
