Poebrotherium chadronense

Poebrotherium chadronense is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Poebrotherium. It was named by Prothero in 1996, and the Paleobiology Database records it as an extinct species of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. The database dates the species to the Priabonian stage of the late Eocene, between about 37 and 33.9 million years ago, from one fossil occurrence, found in the United States (Texas). Its ecospace record gives a terrestrial, ground-dwelling way of life and a browsing or grazing diet, values taken from the wider family, since fossils of the species itself do not show how it fed. The GBIF backbone taxonomy lists Poebrotherium chadronense as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
