Mesohippus bairdi formation?

[JUAN EMMANUEL]

Hi guys,

I recently acquired a piece of fossil Mesohippus teeth that apparently originated from the White River Badlands of South Dakota. The fossil however does not contain any info about what formation it came from. Does anyone have any idea as to what formation it could have come from?

Is that the formation for all fossils from the White River?

Mesohippus bairdi is not found in the Brule Formation. In the White River Group it is reported from the Chadron Formation:

Stratigraphic and Geographic Distribution:  The genus first appears in the Duchesnean and became extinct at the end of the early early Arikareean, although there are some questionable records for its presence in the late early Arikareean.  Most specimens of Mesohippus from the White River Group are referred to M. bairdi, which is found in all members of the Chadron Formation.  Mesohippus from the Scenic Member of the Brule are referred to a second species, M. westoni.  Another species, M. exoletus, is reported from the Peanut Peak Member of the Chadron and the Scenic Member of the Brule, and M. barbouri is reported from the Scenic Member of the Brule Formation (MacFadden, 1998).  Outside of the Big Badlands of South Dakota, the genus is widespread and is found throughout the western United States, including Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, and Texas, then north into Canada and Saskatchewan.  It is the first equid known in the southeastern United States and Florida (Patton, 1969).

That is the only one that came up in a google search.
