Respuesta :
A.)The Mesohippus is older than the Pliohippus
Answer:
The bones of Mesohippus is older than Pliohippus
Explanation:
Pliohippis and Mesohippus are both an extinct genus that occurred in the evolutionary path of the horse. Pliohippus occurred about 15-20 million years back during the middle Miocene period, whereas Mesohippus occurred about 30-40 million years back ranging in age from the Middle of Eocene period to the Early Oligocene period.
This means that the Mesohippus occurred first, and it has undergone evolution, creating the Pliohippus.
Thus, it can be concluded that the bones of Mesohippus after their death are deposited in the rock layers and above this layer, the following rock layer contains the bones of Pliohippus. So the rocks containing Mesohippus are older than the rocks containing Pliohippus.
Hence, the bones of Mesohippus is older than Pliohippus.
