Basilemys sp.

Basilemys is common in most upper Cretaceous formations of Wyoming, Montana, and Alberta. It has also been reported from the Milk River Formation of Alberta by Russell (1935, p. 121).

The genus can be identified by its sculpturing, which consists of a patterned arrangement of pits, and by the considerable thickness of the fragments.
