A gomphothere (Mammalia, Proboscidea) from the Quaternary of the Kashmir Valley, India
Papers in Palaeontology, 2022AbstractThe Kashmir Valley in northern India preserves a fossiliferous Plio‐Pleistocene sedimentary record extending in time almost 5 myr. These fluvio‐lacustrine sediments are commonly called the Karewas, and represent an ancient lake system with drainages derived from the Greater Himalayas and Pir Panjal Ranges.

Neotropical Anachronisms: The Fruits the Gomphotheres Ate
Science, 1982Frugivory by extinct horses, gomphotheres, ground sloths, and other Pleistocene megafauna offers a key to understanding certain plant reproductive traits in Central American lowland forests. When over 15 genera of Central American large herbivores became extinct roughly 10,000 years ago, seed dispersal and subsequent distributions of many ...

Gomphothere Fruits: A Critique
The American Naturalist, 1985The hypothesis that giant Pleistocene mammals shaped reproductive traits of many tropical plants could help explain anomalous fruits which appear adapted for animal consumption, but which lack contemporary dispersal agents. The "megafaunal fruit syndrome," however, is not yet a useful tool.

Abstract During the Quaternary in South America, the gomphotheres were one of the most common elements in the mammal megafauna. They went extinct in an evolutionary event known as the Late-Pleistocene Megafaunal Extinction, of which climate changes and human hunting are commonly claimed as the main possible causes.
