Acerorhinus is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid of the tribe Aceratheriini endemic to Asia from the Miocene, living from 13.6 to 7.0 mya existing for approximately 6.6 million years.[2]
Among other locations, well-preserved Acerorhinus skull specimens have been found at Kerassiá in North Eubonea, Greece.[3]
