Natural Trap, Femora, Data (Natural Trap, Appendix)
Friday 18 October 2013
In Table 1 are the original data (2 sheets) provided by John Howe. One specimen was measured twice; two seem to be the left and right of the same animal. In Table 2 are the data I used (diaphysis and proximal depths were not used because they are difficult to measure and bring little (…)
Natural Trap, Calcanea, Data (Natural Trap, Appendix)
Friday 18 October 2013
In Table 1 are the original data (5 sheets) provided by John Howe; in Table 2, they are ordered by accession numbers. Most measurements were not taken in my way. For comparisons with E. hemionus onager I used scatter diagrams of the three measurements close to mine: maximal length (1), minimal (…)

Caballine
There are a fragmentary mandible, KU 47238 (Fig.1) and a better preserved one, UNSM 51079 (Fig.2,3) associated to a palate (Fig.4). Cups are present on all lower incisors of KU 47238 and on I1-I2 of UNSM 51079. The lower (Fig.5) and upper chek teeth are caballine.
I refer (with (…)

Amerhippus cf. pseudaltidens
The major part of Natural Trap equid fossils may be referred to A. pseudaltidens. There are few cranial remains but more than 800 limb bones. In addition, there are a few specimens larger or smaller than usual but with the same proportions; I suppose that they come (…)

Amerhippus conversidens
– A beautifully preserved skull, KU 84947, was found too late to be studied by John Howe. He gave me just one good photograph of the occlusal side and several indifferent photos of the profile, dorsal side, and cheek teeth (Fig.1,2,3). There are few well preserved (…)

LARGE AMERHIPPUS
– A fragmentary skull, KU 51330, resembles one specimen from Tarija, Bolivia: the basicranial proportions are similar, and like in most Amerhippus the muzzle is very wide (Fig.1).
– The upper premolars of KU 56806 are similar to another specimen from Tarija. I refer to the (…)
