I was so impressed with this god, (and the marsupial relative), that I
became a devotee.  Kokopelli is a humpbacked, flute-playing Hopi deity, and
his responsibilities include fertility, replenishment, music,dance and
mischief.  He's a good-time god.

The marsup relatives were also partying in the Cedar Mountian Formation of
Utah.  (A radiometric dating points to 98 million years, and most fossil
yielding sites are slightly younger.)  Anyway, the fauna includes four
metatherians.  Kokopellia enjoys the company of Adelodelphys, Pariadens
mckennai and the splendid Sinbadelphys, which can translate as 'Sinbad's
womb'.  It actually refers to a local landmark called the Head of Sinbad.
