Anthracotherium ("Coal Beast") was a genus of extinct artiodactyl ungulate mammals, characterized by having 44 teeth, with five semi-crescentic cusps on the crowns of the upper molars. The genus ranged from the early Eocene period until the late Oligocene, having a distribution throughout Eurasia. The last species died out near the end of the Oligocene. The genus name stems from the fact that the remains first described having been obtained from the Tertiary lignite-beds of Europe. \n* Anthracotherium magnum \n* Anthracotherium sp. coprolite at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin
