Summary

Description

Teleoceras fossiger Cope, 1878 - fossil rhinoceros skull from the Miocene of Kansas, USA. (CM 21700, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA)

From museum signage: "This rhino's stumpy legs were more likely used to pole it along underwater rather than for walking on land. It was amphibious like today's hippopotamus, but Teleoceras had a prominent horn on its nose like the rhino."

Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Perissodactyla, Rhinocerotidae
