The Washakie Formation has provided many fossil mammals, turtles and other reptiles, birds and other fossils.[1]
The artiodactylHeliosus apophis was described from the formation by Burger and Jolley,[2] and the rodentsPareumys flynni, Pauromys turnbulli and Thisbemys intermedius by Korth in 2020.[3][4]
