Paronychomys is an extinct genus of Cricetidae that existed in Arizona during the Hemphillian period. [1]
Three species of Paronychomys are known: P. alticuspis, P. lemredfieldi, and P. tuttlei. [2] [3] "Paronychomys" shotwelli, described by Korth (2011) from Hemphilian-age deposits in Oregon, is now placed in the separate genus Tsaphanomys . [4] [5]
Eomyidae is a family of extinct rodents from North America and Eurasia related to modern day pocket gophers and kangaroo rats. They are known from the Middle Eocene to the Late Miocene in North America and from the Late Eocene to the Pleistocene in Eurasia. Eomyids were generally small, but occasionally large, and tended to be squirrel-like in form and habits. The family includes the earliest known gliding rodent, Eomys quercyi.
Heliscomyidae is a family of extinct rodents from the mid-Tertiary of North America related to pocket gophers and kangaroo rats and their relatives. The family contains four genera, Apletotomeus, Heliscomys, Passaliscomys, and Tylionomys. McKenna and Bell (1997) placed the first two genera in synonymy, with Heliscomys the senior synonym.
Protohippus is an extinct three-toed genus of horse. It was roughly the size of a modern donkey. Fossil evidence suggests that it lived during the Late Miocene, from about 13.6 Ma to 5.3 Ma.
Cormohipparion is an extinct genus of horse belonging to the tribe Hipparionini that lived in North America during the late Miocene to Pliocene. This ancient species of horse grew up to 3 feet long.
?Oryzomys pliocaenicus is a fossil rodent from the Hemphillian of Kansas, central United States. It is known from a single mandible with the back part missing. All three molars are present, but very worn. Together, the molars are 3.6 mm long. The fossil was discovered in 1935 and described in 1939 as a possible species of Oryzomys. Later authors doubted this allocation and suggested that it may instead belong in Bensonomys or Jacobsomys, but the material may not allow a definite identification.
Basirepomys is an extinct genus of Cricetidae that existed in the United States during the Late Miocene period. It contains the species B. pliocenicus and B. robertsi.
Metaliomys is an extinct genus of Heteromyidae that existed in the United States during the Late Miocene period. The only species is Metaliomys sevierensis.
Diprionomys is an extinct genus of Heteromyidae that existed in the United States during the Late Miocene period.
Repomys is an extinct genus of Cricetidae that existed during the late Hemphillian and Blancan periods.
Hypolagus is an extinct genus of lagomorph, first recorded in the Hemingfordian of North America. It entered Asia during the early Turolian and spread to Europe not much later, where it survived until the Middle Pleistocene. Though unknown in the Iberian Peninsula, fossils of this genus have been found in the Balearic Islands, suggesting an eastern migration during the dry period in the Mediterranean region known as the Messinian Salinity Crisis.

Apeomyoides savagei is a fossil rodent from the Miocene of the United States, the only species in the genus Apeomyoides. It is known from fragmentary jaws and isolated teeth from a site in the early Barstovian, around 15–16 million years ago, of Nevada. Together with other species from scattered localities in the United States, Japan, and Europe, Apeomyoides is classified in the subfamily Apeomyinae of the extinct rodent family Eomyidae. Apeomyines are a rare but widespread group that may have been adapted to a relatively dry habitat.

The Washakie Formation is a geologic formation in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming. It preserves many mammal, bird, reptile and other fossils dating back to the Lutetian stage of the Eocene within the Paleogene period. The sediments fall in the Bridgerian and Uintan stages of the NALMA classification.

Prolimnocyon is an extinct paraphyletic genus of hyaenodontid mammals known from the Paleocene to the Eocene of Asia and North America. It is the earliest known member of the hyaenodontid family Limnocyonidae.
