Actually, I don't happen to believe that's possible, because I think
unicorns are inherently legendary.  It's probable that the unicorn
legend arose from distorted knowledge about the rhinoceros, but we
do not identify unicorns and rhinos.

If we discovered such a fossil, I think we might casually refer to it
as a unicorn, but it wouldn't actually be one.
