A second specimen of Parahyus vagus Marsh, 1876

January 1, 1973

The occurrence of the second known specimen of Parahyus vagus, from the Tepee Trail Formation, Wyoming, is recorded. As the first specimen was reported from the lower Eocene, this second occurrence casts doubt on the supposed age ranges of both Parahyus and the Tepee Trail.
