UNL excavators find
rhinos in Nebraska
Excavation work by UNL researchers
has uncovered what Michael Voorhies
called Tompeii in Nebraska."
Voorhies, curator and coordinator of
vertebrate paleontology at UNL com
pared the volcanic preservation of the
city of Pompeii to the condition of 12
rhinoceroses and three horse skeletons
discovered in northeastern Nebraska.
The 10-million-year-old animals are
the largest number of complete rhin
oceros skeletons ever discovered in the
United States, according to Voorhies.
To protect the site, the exact loca
tion has not been released. The remains
were discovered in 5-to-6 feet of vol
canic ash.
"It is an unusual accident that an
animal is buried before it decomposes,"
Voorhies said.
"We know for sure that the skeletons
are buried in volcanic ash, but we don't
know whether ash fall actually killed
them," he added.
Another unusual discovery found at
the site is a fetal female whose skeletal
remains are still intact inside the
mother's womb, Voorhies said.
According to Voorhies, the discovery
of the horses could provide an evolu
tionary link between three-toed horses
and hooved horses.
"The skeletons have three toes, but
the side toes are exceedingly small "
said Voorhies, noting "this is the first
evidence that documents the change."
Voorhies said he hopes a skeleton
would be displayed in Elephant Hall
within the month. A museum artist will
paint a picture of the rhinoceros. It
will be the first complete rhinoceros
skeleton of its kind.
Additional excavation work will be
done this summer. Voorhies said he has
applied for a grant from National Geo
graphic to aid financing of the project.
Animals already excavated will
remain at NU for further study, ex
cluding the one on display, according
to Voorhies.
"We hope to eventually mount a
whole family group," Voorhies said.
According to Voorhies, full-grown
rhinos measured from 9 to 10 feet long
and weighed about a ton. Study of the
find has also shown that animals with
large tusks in the lower jaw are probably
males. Voorhies said the fact that male
and female and young and old rhinos
were found in the same spot evidence
that the animals lived together.
Around six UNL students have
helped with lab and excavation work in
the project, Voorhies said.
