Sentences with ARSINOITHERIUM (4)
ARSINOITHERIUM (so called from the Egyptian queen Arsinoë), a gigantic horned mammal from the Middle Eocene beds of the Fayum, Egypt, representing a sub-order of Ungulata, called Barypoda.
Although the brain is relatively larger, the bones of the limbs, especially the short, five-toed feet, approximate to those of the Amblypoda and Proboscidea; but in the articulation of the astragalus with both the navicular and cuboid _Arsinoitherium_ is nearer the former than the latter group.
From the Proboscidea _Arsinoitherium_ differs broadly in skull structure, in the form of the cheek-teeth, and in the persistence of the complete dental series of forty-four without gaps or enlargement of particular teeth.
Whether there is any relationship with the Hyracoidea cannot be determined until we are acquainted with the forerunners of _Arsinoitherium_, which is evidently a highly specialized type.
