Fossil South America Darwin Pleistocene Notoungulate Large Herbivore

description Toxodon platensis Overview

Toxodon platensis was a large, heavy-bodied herbivorous mammal that inhabited South America during the Pleistocene and survived until near the end of that epoch. It belonged to Notoungulata, an extinct order of native South American hoofed mammals, and combined anatomical features that early researchers compared with those of several unrelated living groups. Richard Owen described the species in 1837 using fossil material collected by Charles Darwin during the voyage of HMS Beagle. Its remains are known from several parts of South America, including the Pampas region.
