Abstract
There is great interest in calculating accurate values for Earth’s palaeogravity. One fundamental technique to quantify palaeogravity is to compute weight against mass estimates of ancient animals. This technique is applied to three specimens of the giant prehistoric mammal Paraceratherium transouralicum. The results indicate tentative palaeogravities of 0.73g, 0.81g and 0.85g ± 20% at approximately 29 million years ago.
