Croizetoceros is an extinct genus of deer[1] which lived throughout much of Europe, first appearing during the last stages of the Miocene and living until the Early Pleistocene.
Taxonomy
The type species, Croizetoceros ramosus was originally classified as Cervus ramosus, but was found distinct enough to be placed into its own genus.[2] Many subspecies of C. ramosus have been identified throughout Europe, and another species, C. proramosus, has also been described in 1996.[3]
Description
