Triplopus
Extinct perissodactyl genus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Triplopus is a genus of perissodactyl, possibly a hyracodont, from the Uinta Formation.[1][2] Some species formerly assigned to Triplopus have been assigned to Eotrigonias and Hyrachyus in the past, though this is disputed.[1][3] Triplopus was likely a cursorial browser, similar to other hyracodonts.
