There's 2 taxa that might make good references for Embolo. One is Rhinotitan, a tall browser from the mid Eocene of China. This probably represents the common ancestor to both groups of derived brontotheres that crossed over from Asia to NA
So, Brontotheriidae is a diverse group of Eocene perissodactyls closer to horses then rhinos or tapirs. Outside of the huge famous ones there are many cool smaller sp, like the tapir-sized Dolichorhinus, who rerouted its entire nasal passage for more effecient smelling
Well seeing as we're all still here on #FossilFriday, here's some vaguely organized thoughts on reconstructing the largest, latest surviving Brontotheres 🧵

A late happy #internationalslothday! Here's a small slice of the incredible diversity of sloths in deep time.
