Stenomylus gracilis

Mammalia - Camelidae

Taxonomy
Stenomylus gracilis was named by Peterson (1907) [genotype]. Its type specimen is CM 1610, a partial skeleton (the greater portion of the base of a skull with the lower jaws complete, the limbs, the feet, and several cervical vertebrae), and it is a 3D body fossil.

It was recombined as Stenomylus (Stenomylus) gracilis by Honey et al. (1998) and Cassiliano (2008).
