Dakotamys is an mammal genus that lived during the Upper Cretaceous. It shared the world with dinosaurs. This small creature was a member of the also extinct order of Multituberculata.
For those of a technical disposition, it's within the Suborder of Cimolodonta, and a member of the Paracimexomys group.

Genus: Dakotamys Eaton JG, 1995
'Dakota mouse'
Dakota refers to the Dakota Formation. It's a geological term, rather than a geographical one.
"Paracimexomys and Dakotamys... resemble the Eobaataridae in the structure of the upper and lower molars, with cusps showing a tendency to coalesce, and with ornamentation of grooves and ribs on the molars," (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 2001, p.403).

Species: Dakotamys malcomi Eaton JG, 1995
Place: Dakota Formation, Utah
Country: USA
Age: Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous
Remarks: Weighed perhaps 25g. The type specimen lives at Oklahoma. Some material from Utah has subsequently been reassigned to a different genus, Cedaromys Eaton & Cifelli, 2001.
"Dakotamys" Tedrow & Korth, 1997 was a description of fossil rodents, which were subsequently renamed Dakotallomys. These two species, D. lillegraveni and D. pelycomyoides, really are from Dakota, (South), but are obviously not multituberculates.
