Archaeohippus mannulus, sp. nov.
Monroecreekian/Harrisonian terrestrial claystone
Arikareean, late Oligocene/early Miocene
Pinellas County, Florida
On permanent display at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, Fl.
I discovered this particular specimen back in 95 while collecting fossils in a shallow creek.
Initially thought to be a new species of Miohippus, it was sent to the Museum Of Natural History in Gainesville Fl. for further studies.
In 2003 it was determined to be a new species of Archaeohippus rather than Miohippus.
