News Finding: Horse forelimb digits revisited:
  
Paper Finding: We suggest that the presence of these 'miniature hooves' in Equus and Hipparion indicates that digits I and V are partially expressed distally, and are not absent as previously suggested.
News Context: Horse forelimb digits revisited:
  
Paper Context: We expected to find a medial wing on the distal phalanx of Hyracotherium, representing the single missing digit, but this taxon shows no apparent evidence of the pollex distally. We suggest that the presence of these 'miniature hooves' in Equus and Hipparion indicates that digits I and V are partially expressed distally, and are not absent as previously suggested. If these digits were to continue distally, their projected position would be ventral to the dominant distal phalanx, consistent with the location of the double-sided frog.
