Mammalia - Camelidae

Taxonomy
Auchenia minimus was named by Leidy (1886). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Mixson's Bone Bed, which is in a Hemphillian terrestrial horizon in the Alachua Formation of Florida.

It was synonymized subjectively with Pliauchenia minor by Cope (1892); it was recombined as Procamelus minimus by Leidy and Lucas (1896), Hay (1902) and Simpson (1930); it was recombined as Hemiauchenia minima by Webb et al. (1981) and Honey et al. (1998).
