PARAHIPPUS

Below are items of Parahippus leonensis, Late Early Miocene,
all from North Florida.Parahippus leonensis was the general ancestor for the great Miocene adaptive radiation of advanced members of the Equidae (Hulbert and MacFadden, 1991). This radiation resulted in three major groups or clades of horses: the equins, which include the living genus Equus; the protohippins; and the hipparionins, which include Neohipparion, Cormohipparion, and Nannippus.  "Pony Express," vol. 12, no.1, 1st Half 2003.
