Overview

Excerpt from Notes on the Osteology of the White River Horses The fauna of the Protoceras beds is unique in many ways, especially in the number of new and bizarre forms that come in, some evidently by migration, while others are the direct descendants of the species of the underlying Oreodon beds. These strata are interesting, as they form a transition to the later John Day beds, their fauna being intermediate between the latter and that of the Oreodon beds. A new species of horse has been found in this formation which helps very greatly in explaining the individual variations of M bairdi, as many of these are seen to be attempts in the direction of M. Intermedias, which is undoubtedly the direct descendant of the former. Besides these two species which are seen to stand in the direct relation of anoes tor and descendant there is another species, M copei, which occurs first in the strata of the Oreodon beds and is represented in the Protoceras beds by larger individuals.
