Paleontology and Stratigraphy of the Pliocene of Yepómera, State of Chihuahua: Part 1 - Equids, Except Neohipparion
Keywords:
paleontology, Pliohippus, Equus, Cenozoic, thesisAbstract
In the Foreword, the then-director Teodoro Flores notes that this is the first study published by the Institute concerning continental Cenozoic paleontology. It is a collaboration with the California Institute of Technology and consists of the author's doctoral thesis, which focuses on the evolutionary lineage of modern horses. The fauna of Yepómera includes four species of equids, one of which, Pliohippus (Pliohippus) mexicanus, is considered the most likely Hemphillian ancestor of the modern Equus.
