Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis: A second species of Rhinoceros from the Pleistocene of Serbia.
[sciencythoughts.blogspot.com]
The Rhinocerotid fossil record of Serbia is generally poor and low in taxonomic diversity. A small number of specimens are known from the Miocene of Serbia, including Dicerorhinus aff. sansaniensis, and an unidentified Rhinoceros from the Middle Miocene (Mammal Neogene zone 6) of Prebreza (Toplica, Southern Serbia). Only one species, the Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), has been documented in the Pleistocene of Serbia so far.
This is so serendipitous. For the last four weeks I have been teaching my Geology 101 students the Geologic time line. I am teaching this unit over a seven week period, in more depth than I ever had. As a one time field archaeologist and paleontologist, I realize that I have a more personal relationship to this approach and bring that enthusiasm to bear to engage my students.
With this approach I am able to teach environmental geology, tectonics, paleontological evolution, geomorphology, structural geology, marine geology, as well as historical geology. This unit lays down a foundation of how each of these subjects have a relevancy before I get into each subject in greater depth later in the year. IMHO.
I enjoy your posts. I do not get to the Cenozoic until the next two weeks.
