Parikimys

Description

Parikimys carpenteri is a multituberculate which existed in Colorado at the end of the Cretaceous period. The species is named "in honor of the DMNS vertebrate paleontologist Ken Carpenter, whose initial field work in the sparse, non-marine Cretaceous exposures of Weld County inspired this project."
