  • The Fossil Record and the Evolution of the Modern Horse

    • The first equid fossil was found in the gypsum quarries in Montmartre, Paris in the 1820s.
    • Since then, as the number of equid fossils has increased, the actual evolutionary progression from Eohippus to Equus has been discovered to be much more complex and multibranched than was initially supposed.
    • Detailed fossil information on the rate and distribution of new equid species has also revealed that the progression between species was not as smooth and consistent as was once believed.
