Eohippus Brain Replica for Paleontology
Eohippus brain replica measures 2.4 x 1.1 x 1.2 inches. The eohippus angustidens brain is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from CAS specimen. 1:1. Made in USA.
The eohippus angustidens was a small equid ungulate from the Early Eocene, specifically the Ypresian stage. Found across North America, this “dawn horse” lived in swampy forest environments.
It stood about 12 inches tall at the shoulder, which is roughly three hands high.
While its incisors and molars resemble modern Equus, it featured distinct large canine teeth and a shorter face with eyes positioned in the middle of the skull.
As a forest browser, it possessed four toes on the fore feet and three on the hind to navigate soft ground, with each toe ending in a hoof.
