Tritemnodon

Tritemnodon ("three cutting teeth") was a genus of hyaeanodontid which lived 50.3-46.2 million years ago.[2] Fossils of Tritemnodon agilis have been found in Utah and Wyoming (Willwood Formation of Big Horn County and the Lower Bridger Formation of Uinta County), and it was the size of a wolf.
