Characteristic of or resembling animals of the genus Anoplotherium or the family Anoplotheriidae in form or structure.
Constructed from 'anoplotherium' + '-oid' (resembling), allowing paleontologists to describe fossil fragments that appear similar to known anoplothere species without precise classification.
Paleontologists are like detectives working with incomplete evidence—they use words ending in '-oid' to describe how confident they are, from 'definitely this thing' to 'maybe this thing' based on how many matching features they've found.
