Whatever its true ancestry, if you study Arsinoitherium or any of its possible relatives, extant or extinct, you should be part of the Afrotheria session I'll be co-chairing with @tegnikus.bsky.social at this year's IPC in Cape Town. Abstracts are due at the end of the month! (3/3)
It's also historically been thought to be an afrothere, an extinct relative of modern elephants, sea cows, hyraxes, tenrecs, and aardvarks, though new evidence has called this into question. (2/3)
This #FossilFriday is a two-fer! The double-horned Eocene mammal Arsinoitherium (seen here in the @nhm-london.bsky.social ) is the 2nd in my series of salutes to the Egyptian fossil record in honor of #TeamEgypt making the @gonzagauniversity.bsky.social campus their home during the World Cup.
