Hipparion tracks and horses' toes: the evolution of the equid single hoof [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The traditional story of the evolution of the horse (family Equidae) has been in large part about the evolution of their feet. How did modern horses come to have a single toe (digit III), with the hoof bearing a characteristic V-shaped keratinous frog on

An Empirical Shear Model of Interface Between the Loess and Hipparion Red Clay in a Loess Landslide
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Quaternary loess is widely distributed over the tertiary Hipparion red clay on the Loess Plateau of China. Large-scale loess landslides often occur along the weak contact interface between these two sediment materials. To investigate the failure mode and

The evolution and anatomy of the horse manus with an emphasis on digit reduction [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 We revisit digit reduction in the horse and propose that all five digits are partially present in the modern adult forelimb. Osteological descriptions of selected tetradactyl, tridactyl and monodactyl equids demonstrate the evolution of the forelimb ...

First record of the Miocene hominoid Sivapithecus from Kutch, Gujarat state, western India. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Hominoid remains from Miocene deposits in India and Pakistan have played a pivotal role in understanding the evolution of great apes and humans since they were first described in the 19th Century. We describe here a hominoid maxillary fragment preserving

First hominoid from the Late Miocene of the Irrawaddy Formation (Myanmar). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 For over a century, a Neogene fossil mammal fauna has been known in the Irrawaddy Formation in central Myanmar. Unfortunately, the lack of accurately located fossiliferous sites and the absence of hominoid fossils have impeded paleontological studies ...
