Fossil Horses
University of Florida paleontologist Bruce MacFadden momentarily turns his attention away from a prehistoric horse skeleton on Tuesday, March 15, that is on display at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus. Conventional notions about how horses evolved are now outmoded, said MacFadden, who describes these changes in an article in the March 18 Science magazine. Horses did not uniformly get progressively larger over time, nor did they make a smooth transition from nibbling on shrubs to eating grass on the open plain, he said.
