Stockoceros is an extinct genus of the North American artiodactyl family Antilocapridae,[2] known from Mexico and the southwestern United States.[1] Its horns are each divided near their base into two prongs of roughly equal length.

The genus survived until about 12,000 years ago, and was present when Paleo-Indians reached North America.[3][4]

One of the co-discoverers of S. onusrosagris was Quentin Roosevelt II, grandson of Theodore Roosevelt; he was 14 at the time of the discovery.[5][6]
