		The pig-sized Menoceras roamed the plains of the mid-west during the Arikareean land mammal age of the lower Miocene epoch.
		Menoceras belonged to the genus Dicerorhinus whose only surviving member is the endangered Sumatran rhino.
		This illustration shows a male Menoceras trotting up from the water hole, while a Paleocastor squawks his protest over the tresspass.

		Remains of two rhino species, Menoceras barbouri and Floridaceras whitei, are found in the compact Thomas Farm clays and sands, but they are elusive in both fossil abundance and in what we know about them.
		Menoceras barbouri was the older of the two species.
		Menoceras was a member of an extinct lineage of rhinos that is characterized by a unique set of double nasal horns.

		Mixed with the carcasses of Menoceras were other victims: occasional chalicotheres, giant pigs, oreodons, cats, dogs, and a variety of equally thirsty smaller animals.
		At Agate the millions of Menoceras bones and lesser numbers of the bones of other animals were swept for a few hundred meters downstream and into some sort of backwater or river lake -- possibly a great meander, or an oxbow lake.
		Like the Menoceras, the camels lay there for millions of years, intact in their death poses, the muscles in the backs of their necks pulling their heads back sharply into an unnatural position.

		This is the skull of the most common mammal at Agate Fossil Beds, the Menoceras, a two-horned rhinoceros.
		The Menoceras migrated to this continent from Eurasia 22 million years ago.

		During the Miocene the land now known as Agate was a grass savanna comparable to today’s Serengeti Plains in Africa.
		Twenty million years ago animals such as the Dinohyus (giant pig-like animal), Stenomylus (small gazelle-camel), and Menoceras (short rhinoceros) roamed the plains.
		There were also carnivorous beardogs wandering around, and the land beaver Paleocastor dug spiral burrows that remain as today’s trace fossils (Daemonelix) into the ancient riverbanks.

		Today, teams of paleontologists work to recover their fossilized remains and their secrets at the Agate Fossil Beds National Momument - 3000 acres of preserved land and a monument to former land owner, "Captain" James H. Cook.

		This slab was excavated during the turn of the 19th century from a famous 20-million-year old Miocene site in NW Nebraska, Agate Springs National Monument.
		It contains a rich concentratin of fossil rhino (Menoceras cooki) jaws and bones that accumulated in an ancient stream channel.
		Based on the amount of wear on the teeth and other features of the bones, this slab contains juveniles, mature adults, and older individuals representing a cross-section of ancient herd.

	Agate Fossil Beds National Monument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Monument is best known, however, for the large number of well-preserved fossils which have been discovered, particularly at dig sites on Carnegie and University Hills.
		Fossils from the site are among some of the best specimens of Miocene mammals, such as Miohippus, an ancestor of the modern horse, and Menoceras, a three-toed, pony-sized rhinoceros.
		The site is maintained by the National Park Service.

		The most common mammal in the bonebed, Menoceras may have roamed these plains in herds.
		Only a few oreodonts, about the size of a sheep, have been found at Agate, and they are most common in the carnivore dens nearby, where they were the prey of beardogs.

		The Seaboard LF was collected from the lower Torreya Formation in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida panhandle.
		The Seaboard LF is predominantly composed of large mammals, most of which are shared with the early Hemingfordian Thomas Farm LF, including (from Olsen 1964): the horses Parahippus leonensis, Archaeohippus flbergi, and Anchitherium clarencei, the rhinocerotid Menoceras, and the protoceratid Prosynthetoceras texanus.
		Although sediments from the Seaboard site were not extensively screenwashed at the time the site was discovered in the early 1960s, two small mammals are known from the site, including an upper molar of a vespertilionid bat and the small heteromyid rodent Proheteromys floridanus.

		The placid, rolling green hills of western Nebraska have a surprise hidden in their sandstone depths--layer upon layer of Miocene Epoch fossils.
		Here at the Agate Fossil Beds, Carnegie and University hills have yielded the bones of mammals such as Dinohyus ("terrible pig"), Menoceras, a type of rhino, and the strange Moropus, which looked like a hybrid of bear, horse, giraffe, and tapir.
		The area around the fossil beds was settled by Captain James Cook in the late 19th century.

		Many of those finds would end up in some of the nation's most prestigious museums, but a few would remain on exhibit at the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument visitor's center.
		These finds include the fossilized remains of Moropus, Menoceras, Daphoenodon, Daeodon and Stenomylus, all Miocene-era mammals of gigantic proportions.
		But of even greater interest to my wife and I personally is the little-known exhibit of Ogalla Sioux indian artifacts collected by James Cook and on display at the visitor's center.
