Archaeohippus

''Archaeohippus'' is an extinct three toed member of the family Equidae known from fossils of Late Oligocene to early Miocene age.〔 The genus is noted for several distinct skeletal features. The skull possesses deeply pocketed fossa in a notably long preorbital region.〔 The genus is considered an example of phyletic dwarfism with adults estimated at being on average 20kg in weight. This is in contrast to the most common equid of the period, ''Miohippus''.〔 Characters of the teeth show a mix of both primitive and advanced traits. The advanced traits are very similar to those shown in the genus ''Parahippus''. The noted similarities of ''Archaeohippus'' and ''Parahippus'' show them to be descended from a common ancestor and are considered sister species.〔
==Taxonomic History==
The first species to be named was found in the Miocene Mascall Fauna of Cottonwood Creek, Oregon.〔 Named ''Anchitherium ultimus'' the species was described in 1886 by noted paleontologist, E. D. Cope〔 during the height of the Bone wars. During study 1906 on the Mascall formation equids, J. Gidley moved to a new genus he named ''Archaeohippus''. The strong similarity of the traits resulted in the genus being considered a subgenus of ''Parahippus'' by W. D. Matthew in 1932. In stark contrast of opinion ''Archaeohippus'' was revalidated by D.F. Bode in 1933, and along with ''A. ultimus'', he included ''A. mourningi'' and ''A. penultimus''.〔 ''Archaeohippus'' ranged across all of North America. In addition to the occurrences in Florida and Oregon, fossil specimens have been found in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada.〔 & 1993 "Biostratigraphy of the Cypress Hills Formation (Eocene to Miocene), Saskatchewan: equid types (Mammalia: Perissodactyla) and associated faunal assemblages." ''Journal of Paleontology'' 67:660–669.〕 At the other end of its range ''Archaeohippus'' have been found as far south as the Miocene Gaillard Cut local in the former canalzone of Panama.〔 2006 "North American Miocene Land Mammals from Panama" ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology'' 26(3):720–734〕

In at least part of its range ''Archaeohippus'' dwelt in a forested or wooded habitat.〔
