Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae (Perissodactyla, Tapiromorpha) [PDF]

open access: yesGeodiversitas, 2016
ABSTRACT Here we describe mandibular, dental, and postcranial remains referable to Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae (Perissodactyla) originating from the vertebrate localities of Kucukcekmece East and Kucukcekmece West, in Thrace (European Turkey). The four rhinocerotids recognized comprise the early diverging Ronzotherium sp.

Sexual Dimorphism and Body Reconstruction of a Hornless Rhinocerotid, Plesiaceratherium gracile, From the Early Miocene of the Shanwang Basin, Shandong, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
We investigated the sexual dimorphism and reconstructed the body of Plesiaceratherium gracile based on the numerous new specimens from the Early Miocene Shanwang Basin, China. The sexual dimorphism of P. gracile is reflected by the size of both the lower
