ABSTRACT
A small squamatofauna from the early Paleocene (Puercan) Denver Formation includes a new scincomorph lizard, Palaeoscincosaurus middletoni new genus and species (?Scincidae), Odaxosaurus piger (Anguidae), an indeterminate anguid and other indeterminate lizards. Palaeoscincosaurus middletoni is represented solely by mandibular and maxillary elements that demonstrate its scincomorph affinities. This Puercan squamatofauna departs from other early Paleocene faunas (Puercan and Torrejonian) in being taxonomically less diverse and somewhat unique in composition.
