Astrohippus Temporal range: 16.3–4.9 Ma PreЄ Є O S D C P T J K Pg N Barstovian to Late Hemphillian[1] Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Perissodactyla Family: Equidae Subfamily: Equinae Tribe: Equini Genus: †Astrohippus Quinn, 1955 Species Astrohippus ansae Astrohippus stockii (syn. A. albidens) Astrohippus is an extinct member of the Equidae tribe Equini, the same tribe that contains the only living equid genus, Equus. Fossil remains have been found in the central United States, Florida, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Jalisco, and Guanajuato. The fossils date in time from the oldest dating from the Barstovian in the Miocene to the youngest dating in the Hemphillian faunal stage of the early Pliocene.[1] Based on study of the tooth morphology it is considered unlikely that Astrohippus could be an ancestor of modern horses, with the most likely ancestor of Astrohippus being Pliohippus.[2] The species A. ansae was originally described by W.D. Matthew and R.A. Stirton based on several cheek teeth found in the Coffee Ranch quarry, Hemphill County, Texas. This quarry has produced the remains of six other equid genera including Dinohippus and Nannippus.[3] A. stockii was described from the Yepomera locality in Chihuahua, Mexico, by J.F. Lance in 1950 as Pliohippus stockii.[1] The species was moved to Astrohippus five years later by Quinn.[1] The species A. albidens was named by O. Mooser in 1965 from Mexico, the species was subsequently moved to Dinohippus in 1988 by T. S. Kelly and E. B. Lander.[1] In 1998 A. stockii and A. albidens were combined by T. S. Kelly, with the older A. stockii name being retained and A. albidens becoming a junior synonym.[1] Both species of Astrohippus have been reported to occur in the Ocote Local Fauna of Guanajuato, Mexico by O. Mooser in 1973.[4] References ^ a b c d e f The Paleobiology Database 1/21/09 ^ MacFadden, B. J. (1984). "Astrohippus and Dinohippus". J. Vert.
