Examples of equid in the following topics:
-
- 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.
