Eohippus

''Eohippus'' is an extinct genus of small equid ungulates. The only species is ''E. angustidens'', which was long considered a species of ''Hyracotherium''. Its remains have been identified in North America and date to the Early Eocene (Ypresian) stage.
==Discovery==


In 1876, Othniel C. Marsh described a skeleton as ''Eohippus validus'', from the Greek ηώς (eōs, "dawn") and ιππος (hippos, "horse"), meaning "dawn horse". Its similarities with fossils described by Richard Owen were formally pointed out in a 1932 paper by Sir Clive Forster Cooper. ''E. validus'' was moved to the genus ''Hyracotherium'', which had priority as the name for the genus, with ''Eohippus'' becoming a junior synonym of that genus. ''Hyracotherium'' was recently found to be a () group of species, and the genus now includes only ''H. leporinum''. ''E. validus'' was found to be identical to an earlier-named species, ''Hyracotherium angustidens'' (Cope, 1875), and the resulting binomial is thus ''Eohippus angustidens''.
