Trigonias sp. - fossil rhinoceros skeleton from the Oligocene of Colorado, USA. (public display, Nebraska State Museum of Natural History, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA) From museum signage: "Trigonias appears to be ancestral to the true rhinoceroses. This form was the most common type of rhinoceros in what is now Nebraska and Colorado, 40 million years ago. Although today rhinoceroses live only in the Old World tropics, there were numerous species living in the northern climates during the geologic past. Rhinoceroses became extinct in North America just prior to the Ice Age, approximately 1 million years ago."
