Aphelops is an extinct genus of rhinoceros endemic to North America during the Miocene through the Pliocene, living from 20.43—4.9 mya.^[1]{{failed verification|date=November 2018}}

Taxonomy

Aphelops was named by Owen (1845) with species attributed to Cope 1873 and Cope 1874. It was assigned to Aceratheriinae by Prothero (1998); and to Rhinocerotidae by Owen (1845), Carroll (1988) and Hulbert and Whitmore (2006).^[2]^[3]

Morphology

Body mass

Five specimens were examined by M. Mendoza, C. M. Janis, and P. Palmqvist.^[4] The results were:

Specimen 1: {{Convert|265.7|kg|lb|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}
