Tibia
KNM ER 1277 is a perfectly preserved Tibia (Fig. 59, 60) resembling a large E. burchelli.

“Associated” First Phalanges
The association of KNM ER 2678 Ph1 (MC zone, Sub Chari, Area 6 A) is certainly wrong (Fig. 61). In an Equus individual, Anterior Ph1 are never shorter than the Posterior.
Fig. 61
Simpson’s Ratio diagrams indicate that both Ph1 probably belonged to an E. burchelli albeit not to the same animal (Fig. 62).
