Phoberocyon is a large extinct genus of carnivorous Hemicyonid, found primarily in North America during the Miocene living from 20.6—16.3 mya, existing for approximately {{Mya|20.6-16.3|million years}}.[1] One species, P. hispanicus, is known from Miocene Spain.

Taxonomy

Phoberocyon was named by Ginsburg (1955). It was assigned to Ursidae by Ginsburg (1955)[2] and Carroll (1988); and to Hemicyoninae by Hunt (1998).[3][4]

Morphology

Two specimens were examined by Legendre and Roth for body mass.[5]

  • Specimen 1: {{Convert|83|kg|lb|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}.
  • Specimen 2: {{Convert|689.3|kg|lb|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}.

Fossil distribution

  • Thomas Farm Site, Alachua Formation, Gilchrist County, Florida Phoberocyon johnhenryi ~20.6—16.3 Ma. This is the only known specimen.
