Limnocyon is a genus of hyaenodontid that lived in North America during the middle Eocene, existing for approximately 10 million years. Fossils of this animal have been found in California, Utah and Wyoming.[1]
Description
Limnocyon was a small omnivorous hyaenodontid, with some estimates placing it at less than one kilogram in weight.[1] Like other limnocyonines, Limnocyon had only two molars in the upper and lower dentition.[2]
