A comprehensive systematic review of the fossil rhinoceroses of North America, tracing their evolutionary history over some 35 million years, from their first appearance during the Eocene to their extinction on the continent. North American rhinoceroses diversified into an extraordinary range of forms, from relatively small, long-legged animals to massive, short-legged, hippopotamus-like species, occupying a wide variety of ecological niches.Provides detailed taxonomic accounts of the North American Rhinocerotidae, with descriptions, measurements and illustrations of fossil skeletal material, including skulls, dentition and postcranial bones. Examines their classification, geographical distribution, evolutionary relationships, biogeography and palaeoecology, and their significance in reconstructing the changing environments and mammalian faunas of Cenozoic North America.Extensively illustrated with 325 black-and-white figures, including photographs, anatomical drawings and maps. An important specialist reference for vertebrate palaeontologists, mammalian taxonomists and researchers interested in the evolution of the Perissodactyla. [9780521832403].…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The family Rhinocerotidae has a long and amazing history in North America. From their first appearance about forty million years ago, they diversified into an incredible array of taxa, with a variety of ecologies that do not resemble any of the five living species.

This book includes a systematic review of the entire North American Rhinocerotidae, with complete descriptions, measurements, and figures of every bone in every species - the first such review in over a century. More importantly, it discusses the biogeographic patterns of rhinos, their evolutionary patterns and paleoecology, and what rhinos tell us about the evolution of North American landscapes and faunas over 35 million years. It is a complete and authoritative volume that will be a reference of interest to a variety of scientists for years to come.…
