The earliest gomphotheres

1996
Abstract The name ‘gomphotheres’ is used here in a restrictive sense; it is not entirely synonymous with the ‘bunodont mastodonts’ (sensu Tobien 1973a) or the family name Gomphotheriidae Hay, 1922, based on the genus Gomphotherium Burmeister, 1837.

Gomphotheres and mammutids from the Iberian Peninsula

1996
Abstract Remains of gomphotheres and mammutids are abundant in the Iberian Peninsula and are found within a temporal interval from middle Miocene (c. 18 Ma) to Villafranchian (c. 3 Ma; Table 14.1). Earlier studies of these proboscideans reflect, in Spain and Portugal, multiple genera, species, and varieties.

Taxonomic revision of the Quaternary gomphotheres (Mammalia: Proboscidea: Gomphotheriidae) from the South American lowlands

Quaternary International, 2012
The South American gomphotheres were previously classified in three genera and three species. Two biogeographic corridors are recognized for the dispersion of gomphotheres in South America. Cuvieronius hyodon was found mainly in the highlands and west to the Andes, and Stegomastodon platensis and Haplomastodon chimborazi were found in lowlands. The aim

Mammoths, gomphotheres, and the Great American Faunal Interchange

1996
Abstract The mammoths (Mammuthus: Elephantidae) were the most highly specialized of all proboscidean taxa in their dentitions and morphological/physiological adaptations to survival in cold cli¬ mates. The Elephantidae was one of the most rapidly evolving families of mammals during the Plio-Pleistocene (Simpson 1944).

The Feeding Habits of the Shovel-Tusked Gomphotheres: Evidence From Tusk Wear Patterns

Paleobiology, 1992
The shovel-tusked gomphotheres are normally portrayed scooping up water plants with their shovellike mandibular tusks. This portrayal is based on speculation about the possible functions of the lower tusks and misinterpretation of mandibular-tusk wear patterns that goes back to the 1920s and 1930s.

Para- or monophyly of the gomphotheres and their position within Proboscidea

1996
Abstract The systematics of Proboscidea in general, and of gomphotheres in particular, has undergone considerable modifications during the past 50 years. Osborn’s (1936) discussion of gomphothere taxa and review of earlier literature may be considered a starting point for modern studies. Simpson (1945) reviewed and amended Osborn’s work,

The gomphotheres (proboscidea: Gomphotheriidae) from Pilauco site: Scavenging evidence in the Late Pleistocene of the Chilean Patagonia

Quaternary International, 2014
The archaeo-paleontological site of Pilauco (southern Chile) has one of the richest Late Pleistocene mammal records of the northern Chilean Patagonia, with at least nine forms dominated by gomphothere remains. This site has a complex taphonomic history due to postdepositional processes that affected the integrity, frequency, and distribution of the ...
