''Bryceomys'' is an extinct mammal that lived during the late Cretaceous period (between 100 and 66 million years ago) and thus shared the world with dinosaurs. It was a member of the also extinct order of Multituberculata. It was within the suborder of Cimolodonta, and a member of the Paracimexomys group. The genus ''Bryceomys'' ("Bryce mouse", after Bryce Canyon National Park) was named by Eaton J.G. in 1995. ==Species== The species ''Bryceomys fumosus'' (Eaton 1995) is known from fossils found in strata dating to the Turonian (Upper Cretaceous) in the Straight Cliffs Formation of Utah, US. They probably weighed about 12g, about half the weight of a house mouse. About a hundred teeth are held at the Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, including the holotype.
