Cambaytherium
Cambaytherium is an extinct genus of placental mammals in the family Cambaytheriidae[1] whose fossils were found in an open pit coal mine located in Gujarat, India.[2] The mine was a treasure trove full of teeth and bones, over 200 of which were identified as belonging to Cambaytherium thewissi.[1] The fossils were dated to the Early Eocene, 54.5 million years ago,[3] making them slightly younger than the oldest known fossils belonging to the order Perissodactyla.
