Abstract
was by Hibbard et al. (1978) who described three partial rami and an isolated upper right second premolar (RP2) from the Kanopolis local fauna (l.f.) of Ellsworth County. The Kanopolis is considered to be a middle Pleistocene interglacial fauna. Subsequently, Martin and Naples (1999) described a partial ramus with the roots of three cheek teeth from a sandbar on the Kansas River presumed to be late Pleistocene in age. In a preliminary study of Miocene mammals from north-central Kansas, I (Zakrzewski, 1988) mentioned the presence of a tapir in the text and included it in the faunal list of the Gretna l.f. of Phillips County. Herein, I formally describe the specimen, an isolated tooth, which is in the Vertebrate Paleontology collections of the Sternberg Museum of Natural History at Fort Hays State University (FHSM VP). This report is part of a continuing effort to provide detailed descriptions of the mammals from the Ogallala Group in this area (Bever, 2003; Bever and Zakrzewski, 2009).
