Procyon rexroadensis

Procyon rexroadensis is an extinct species of procyonid, a member of the raccoon family, known from the Late Blancan of Kansas in the United States. Claude W. Hibbard described it in 1941 from a fossil collected in the Rexroad Formation in Meade County, Kansas, which gives the species its name. The Paleobiology Database places its record between the Zanclean and Calabrian ages and counts three fossil occurrences for it under the genus Procyon, and GBIF, repeating that database, gives a living period of 4.9 to 1.8 million years ago, from the early Pliocene into the early Pleistocene. For a long time it was regarded as the oldest known species of Procyon, until the 2025 description of the older species Procyon garberi from the Late Miocene of California displaced it as the earliest known member of the genus. The sources read give no body size, diet or habitat for it, so none is claimed here.
