fluffy extinct animals?

Despite over a century of prospecting and field research, fossil
vertebrates are exceedingly rare in Paleogene and Neogene rocks in northern
Canada's Yukon Territory. Here, we describe the first records of probable
Neogene vertebrate fossils from the territory, including tooth fragments of
a rhinocerotid, a partial calcaneum of an artiodactyl, shell fragments of
the pond turtle Chrysemys s.l. and tortoise Hesperotestudo, and a fragment
of a palatine of Esox (pike). Although the tooth fragments cannot be
identified solely by traditional paleontological means, we use tooth enamel
microstructure, and primarily the presence of vertical Hunter-Schreger
bands, to refer them to the Rhinocerotidae. As the only known record of the
Rhinocerotidae in North America's western Arctic, the tooth fragments from
the Wolf Creek site support the hypothesis that the clade dispersed between
Asia and North America across Beringia. The fossils are consistent with a
Miocene age for the Wolf Creek site that is inferred from radiometric dates
of the Miles Canyon basalt flows in the vicinity of the fossil locality.
Further, the tortoise and pond turtle fossils indicate a mild climate in
the Yukon at the time, consistent with the vegetation reconstructions of
others that indicate a warmer, wetter world in the Miocene than today.
