Parikimys carpenteri is a multituberculate which existed in Colorado at the end of the Cretaceous period.[1] The species is named "in honor of the DMNS vertebrate paleontologist Ken Carpenter, whose initial field work in the sparse, non-marine Cretaceous exposures of Weld County inspired this project."[2]
