Class Mammalia
Order Artiodactyla
Suborder Ruminantia
Family Antilocapridae
Antilocapra sp.—Pronghorn // Antilocapra americana—Pronghorn
Stockoceros conklingi is slightly smaller than Antilocapra, but discrimination isn't always clear.
Sites.
Late Wisconsin: Harris' Pocket (Harris 1989: cf.).
Literature.
Several sites record Antilocapra sp.
Sites.
Late Wisconsin: Human Corridor (Harris 1993c); Navajo Lake (Morgan and Lucas 2005: cf.).
Late Wisconsin/Holocene: Conkling Cavern (Conkling 1932).
Literature.
Conkling 1932; Harris 1993c; Morgan and Lucas 2005.
The Pronghorn is the largest of the regional pronghorns. As described, Stockoceros onusrosagris is somewhat smaller, S. conklingi yet smaller, and Capromeryx notably smaller. However, S. onusrosagris and S. conklingi are treated here as a single species (see Stockoceros account). Fragmentary post-cranial material may not be distinguished with certainty between Antilocapra and Stockoceros and between Stockoceros and Capromeryx.

Early/Early-Mid Wisconsin: Lost Valley (Harris 1993c).
Mid Wisconsin: Pendejo Cave (Harris 2003).
