Pseudolabis dakotensis

Pseudolabis dakotensis is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Pseudolabis. It was named by Matthew in 1904, and the Paleobiology Database records it as an extinct species of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. The database dates the species from the Rupelian to the Burdigalian stage of the early Oligocene, between about 29.5 and 18.5 million years ago, from 5 fossil occurrences, found in the United States (Nebraska, Wyoming). 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 Pseudolabis dakotensis as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
