2.9" Pleistocene Fossil Horse (Equus) Astragalus - Florida

This is a 2.9" wide Pleistocene-aged fossil horse (Equus sp.) calcaneus bone collected from Dixie County, Florida. Horse bones/teeth are commonly found associated with fossils from many other ice age mammals including mammoths, sloths, camels, etc.

Comes with an acrylic display stand.

Horses evolved in the Americas and spread to Asia and Europe. There are a number of species described from the fossil record in North America and their relationship is still being debated. For this reason assigning taxonomic identity is very difficult.
