Update: Hyracotherium has been making friends fast.

The Hyracotherium (Eohippus) on the Paleocam! I took inspiration from today's Equus and their primitive markings to create the Eohippus' coat.

Q: When is a horse not a horse?
A: When it's Hyracotherium.
Hyracotherium, the “dawn-horse,” was not closely related to horses at all, according to a fossil analysis that also traces the fast dispersals of the genera Pliolophus and Cardiolophus across three continents 56 million years ago. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/c8J450Y0O2O

You let them inside and next thing you know they’re climbing on the furniture. #SciArt 🐡

Lately I’ve been keeping our 3D printer busy with this life sized Hyracotherium (ancestor to modern horses) model. Digitally sculpted by Minatures Museum, I cut and scaled it to fit the pieces on the print bed. It’s like the most macabre LEGO set ever.

Maybe I should actually try posting stuff instead of just lurking here, so why not have some paleo art c:

Time to redact Hyracotherium from all of the horse evolution diagrams

One of the comments said it looks like a precursor to a horse and....yeahhh...

And a play on this sketch from TH Huxley to OC Marsh who described fossils of Eohippus, an early horse now called Hyracotherium, Huxley quipped "Eohippus must have an Eohomo"

Whose tooth is that!? APS grantees are making exciting finds in the field. Check out this discovery made by Evan Unruh-Friesen, a 2026 Franklin Fellow. This is the first and second molars of Hyracotherium, an early horse ancestor that was the size of a cat and lived about 56 million years ago. 🦷 🦴

I can't believe Hyracotherium got Pluto'd.

Horsefeet: acceptable when 3 toed hoof-paws like Hyracotherium had.

This is why I evolve horse feet.
