... the observed range of the Gray Fossil Site population. The new material supports a reassignment of “ Tapiravus ” polkensis to the genus Tapirus , and demonstrates that the geologic age of the species is significantly younger than previously thought, Hemphillian rather than Barstovian. Tapirus polkensis...

 Figure14—Simpson ratio diagram comparing cheek tooth dimensions of Tapirus polkensis from the GFS (minimum, mean, and maximum) and CFPD (mean only) with means of other North American species of Tapirus from the Clarendonian and Hemphillian. Values plotted are log differences with mean values of extant Tapirus terrestris (negative values are smaller than T. terrestris; positive values larger than T. terrestris). Tooth measurements for the type specimen of T. simpsoni taken from Schultz et al. (1975); means of T. webbi are from Hulbert (2005)
