skull of Ronzotherium heissigi

Description of the project

sauvegarde du projet skull of Ronzotherium heissigi: Projet Synthesys "Accessing the inner-ear of historical fossil perissodactyl skull". Description : The Rhinocerotoidea (Mammalia, Perissodactyla) have appeared in North America or Asia during the Early Eocene and were at some point one of the predominant lineage of large herbivorous mammals, especially in Europe. Six families have been recognized, but their relationships are still poorly resolved. Although some European Rhinocerotidae have been revised during my PhD thesis, their relationships with other Rhinocerotoid families remain unresolved.
