Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We describe the skeleton of a pregnant mare of the European equoid Eurohippus messelensis from the early middle Eocene of Grube Messel, Germany, 47.4–47.9 my of age (mammalian chronologic unit MP 11). This is the first detailed description of an individual skeleton of this species since Haupt (Abhandlungen der Hessischen Geologischen Landesanstalt, 6;1–159 Haupt 1925). Measurements prove that the skeleton of a pregnant mare fits exactly into the known variation of Eurohippus messelensis. Differences from the North American Eocene equid Arenahippus grangeri are only marginal. The size is similar, but the limb proportions indicate that cursoriality in A. grangeri had already achieved a higher level than in E. messelensis, which is 6-6.5 million years younger. We confirm the presence of rudimentary mc-I and mt-V in E. messelensis. The preservation of soft tissue is remarkable. We identified the distal end of the colon. SEM analyses display that it still contains plant material.
