Dinohyus hollandi Peterson, 1905 - fossil mammal skeleton from the Miocene of Nebraska, USA. (CM 1594, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) Also known as Daeodon hollandi. This is the holotype skeleton of Dinohyus hollandi, a Tertiary-aged entelodont mammal from Nebraska. From museum signage: At six-feet tall, Dinohyus more than earns its Latin name, terrible pig. It was the last and largest entelodont of North America. It was an omnivore, which means it ate pretty much whatever it wanted. Its large head was ornamented with bony projections. Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Placentalia, Artiodactyla, Entelodontidae Stratigraphy: lower Harrison Formation, Harrisonian, Lower Miocene Locality: Agate Springs Fossil Quarry, near Agate, Sioux County, western Nebraska, USA See info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daeodon and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entelodont |
