''Cernaysia'' is an extinct genus of mammal from the Paleocene of France and the United States. It existed in the age immediately following the extinction of the last dinosaurs. This animal was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata within the suborder Cimolodonta and family Neoplagiaulacidae. The genus ''Cernaysia'' ("from Cernay") was named by Vianey-Liaud M. in 1986 based on two species. It has also been known as ''Carnaysia''. Fossil remains of the species ''Cernaysia davidi'' (Vianey-Liaud M. 1986) were found in Puercan (Lower Paleocene) strata of the San Juan Basin of New Mexico, (USA). Remains of the species ''Cernaysia manueli'' (Vianey-Liaud M. 1986) were found in Upper Paleocene strata from Cernay, France. == References == * Vianey-Liaud (1986), Les Multituberculés Thanétiens de France, et leurs rapports avec les Multituberculés Nord-Américains.
