Family RHINOCEROTIDAE Gray, 1821 View in CoL
Geraads & Spassov (2009) provide a detailed account of all Bulgarian Upper Miocene Rhinocerotidae , including those from Strumyani. There is no evidence of any hornless rhino ( Acerorhinus Kretzoi, 1942 or Chilotherium Ringström, 1924 ) at Strumyani, but the two taxa commonly found in the Upper Miocene of the Balkans, Dihoplus Brandt, 1878 and Ceratotherium Gray, 1868 , are present. Str-2 is probably the best example of coexistence of these two forms in the very same layer.
