II.—Restoration of Brontops Robustus, from the Miocene of America1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The largest mammals of the American Miocene were the huge Brontotheridæ, which lived in great numbers on the eastern flanks of the Rocky Mountains, and were entombed in the fresh-water lakes of that region. They were larger than the Dinocerata of the Eocene, and nearly equalled in size the existing Elephant. They constitute a distinct family of Perissodactyles, and were more nearly allied to the Rhinoceros than to any other living forms.
