This is a series of skulls and front leg fossils of organisms believed to be ancestors of the modern-day horse. Equus (modern horse) Pilobirrus MArvebirRus Eohippus (Dawn Horse) Give two similarities between each of the skulls that might lead to the conclusion that these are all related species. 1. 2. What is the biggest change in skull anatomy that occurred from the dawn horse to the modern horse? 3. What is the biggest change in leg anatomy that occurred from the dawn horse to the modern horse?
