Ceratomorpha

A 2020 parsimony analysis recovers Ceratomorpha as Tapiroidea plus Rhinocerotoidea, whereas its Bayesian tip-dating tree is less resolved in several basal positions; the atlas treats this as a sampled topology, not a fixed origin or ancestor sequence. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.
