1. Title: "Gathering at the White River: A Late Eocene Scene of North American Fauna" This evocative image is an artist's reconstruction of a tranquil scene along the White River during the Late Eocene epoch, around 37-33 million years ago. The White River, a significant geological formation in the United States, is famed for its rich fossil deposits of the Tertiary period, providing valuable insights into the diverse North American fauna of the Paleogene and Neogene eras. In this tableau, various prehistoric creatures are depicted in their natural habitat, gathered around the riverbank. From left to right, we find: 1. Hoplophoneus: A small, agile omnivorous mammal, resembling a raccoon, with a toothy grin. 2. Mesohippus: An early horse with a more slender body and shorter limbs than modern horses. 3. Hyaenodon: A saber-toothed mammal, resembling a smaller version of the Smilodon, with a powerful build and sharp teeth. 4. Archaeotherium: A large, pig-like creature with a bulky body and powerful legs. 5. Poebrotherium: A small, rodent-like mammal with a long, slender snout. 6. Pseudoprotoceras: An early deer with a small, simple antler structure. 7. Megacerops: A large, hornless rhinoceros with a massive body and powerful limbs. 8. Daphoenus: A small, agile, omnivorous mammal with a long, bushy tail. 9. Merycoidodon: A large, herbivorous, pig-like creature with a long, tusk-like canines. 10. Subhyracodon: A small, agile, omnivorous mammal, resembling a modern-day aardvark, with elongated snout and powerful claws. This scene offers a glimpse into the geomorphology and ecology of the Late Eocene landscape, as these creatures interacted with their environment along the banks of the White River in what is now the United States.
