New species and genus
This section contains new genus and species that have been found by us and donated to various museums and institutions. Finding new genus and species is not easy. We have easily donated over 25,000 specimens to various museums and instutions and the below items are the only ones so far that were new to science. Multiple other papers are in the works, hopefully this section is updated soon!
Peradectes gulottai
New Species of Eocene
opossum, representing the smallest opossum species known and is the first Early Cenozoic marsupial known from the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
Eostrix gulottai
New Species of Eocene

Teilhardina Sp.
Eocene omomyid from the Nanjemoy formation. It almost certainly represents a previously unknown species and is the first fossil primate from the Atlantic coastal plain
Siouxlindrodon sullivani
New Species of Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands. This represents a new genus and therefore a new species as well
Costepeiromy attasorus
New genus and obviously new species of Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands.
Protansomys gulottai
New Species of Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands. This represents a new genus and therefore a new species as well
Ischyromys brevidens
New Species of Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands.
Paradjidaumo patriciae
New Species of Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands.

New Species of Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands.
Cedromus modicus
New Species of Oligocene\Eocene rodent from the big cotton wood creek member, Chadron formation of the white river badlands.
