Dichobunidae
Dichobunidae A group, formerly classed as a family, of small, primitive, Eocene and early Oligocene artiodactyls. They show considerable variation, however, and more recently they have been regarded as a distinct artiodactyl group of subordinal status, the Palaeodonta. They were neither true swine nor true ruminants.
