New Members Melissa_The Fossil Girl Posted October 30, 2019 New Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, I've seen several sellers who labeled their Oreodont fossils as Leptauchenia. So I wondered are they the same thing or two different animals altogether? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfarrar Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Leptauchenia is one genus out of about 45 genera in the family Oreodontidae. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Technically, oreodonts are not the formal group name. Instead they belong to a group called Merycoidodontoidea. But like rfarrar said, Leptauchenia is genus within that group of many other animals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
