Through in-depth research on a 7 million-year-old plate-toothed rhinoceros fossil collected from Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province, the research team of Deng Tao of the Institute of Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Institute of Paleovertebrates of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) pushed forward the original plate-toothed rhinoceros that was found to be no more than 2 million years old, confirmed that it was the most primitive true plate-toothed rhinoceros species known at present, and established a new species of original plate-toothed rhinoceros, thus clarifying the origin of the true plate-toothed rhinoceros. The picture shows a 7 million-year-old fossil specimen of the original plate-toothed rhinoceros taken at the Herbarium of the Institute of Paleovertebrates of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on April 30.
