It lived between 34 and 37 million years ago during the Eocene Epoch. The animal was a leaf-eating herbivore which had huge, blunted, paired horns forming a Y rising like a scoop from its snout. Leite said the fossils will be a great addition to the CSC museum. We had bones from some mammoths that were larger, but we didn t have as many bones from one large animal, Leite said. Leite said the specimen most likely won t be pieced together as a whole skeleton because of the condition of the fragile fossils.
Some bones remain to be excavated.
From what I ve seen, most of it won t be in good enough shape for display. Most of it will be for study, he said.
