}}Aceratherium was a genus of rhinoceros of the tribe Aceratheriinae that lived in Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene. It reached {{Convert|2.3|m|abbr=on}} in length, a height of about {{Convert|120|cm|abbr=on}} and a weight of nearly 1 ton.[2]

Taxonomy

Aceratherium was coined by Kaup (1832) for "Rhinoceros" incisivum Cuvier, 1822 on the basis of the similarity of two skulls from Eppelsheim, Germany to the holotype incisor tooth from Weisenau in dental structure.[3] However, the tooth from Weisenau has been recognized as belonging to a member of Teleoceratini, although the name Aceratherium has been widely used for the Eppelsheim skulls.[4] Many species have been referred to Aceratherium, but only three valid species are recognized (A. incisivum, A. depereti, and A. porpani).{{clear|left}}
