Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox Chemositia is an extinct genus of chalicothere, a group of herbivorous, odd-toed ungulate (perissodactyl) mammals. They lived in Africa, and had claws that were likely used in a hook-like manner to pull down branches, suggesting they lived as bipedal browsers.[1]
Many authorities do not believe that Chemositia is a valid genus and synonymize it with Ancylotherium or Metaschizotherium.[2][3]
