For exemple this one: This is Indricotherium. There is written that it is a Paraceratherium skull: NO. This is INDRICOTHERIUM skull. There are a lot of differences between these genera.

Paraceratherium = Aralotherium = Baluchitherium. Indricotherium is a differetn species. And Benaratherium is relatively small indrocothere from Georgia.

someguy Posts: 5,934 Group: Members Member #363 Joined: Jun 8, 2012	Than what exactly was the biggest Paracatherium species?

someguy Posts: 5,934 Group: Members Member #363 Joined: Jun 8, 2012	Now not only transouralicum is a new genus, even bugitense? And I asked for the biggest Paraceratherium and not Indricotherium species, but this is still a nice info I should remember. Anyways thanks.

Bugitense is Indricotherium species. So - Indricotherium bugitense. And I don't remeber names of the species of Paraceratherium and their measurments. I think (I DON' KNOW) that Indricotherium was taller and Paraceratherium more massive. In all ways the skull of Paraceratherium was relatively wider and shorter.
