Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Equus caballus Linnaeus, 1758 - modern horse foot bones. (public display, Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, Nebraska, USA)

From exhibit info.:

EVOLUTION IN ACTION - HORSE FEET -

Was Darwin right? Today's horses have a single toe (hoof) on each foot. Scientists of Darwin's day predicted that ancestral horses with more toes would someday be found as fossils.

Ashfall proved them right! As you can see in these front feet of horse skeletons from the ash bed, most kinds had 3 toes but one has a single hoof.
