Anancinae (Proboscidea: Gomphotheriidae) from the Middle Awash Valley, Afar, Ethiopia

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 1985
ABSTRACT Late Miocene to early Pliocene gomphothere proboscideans (Family Gomphotheriidae: Subfamily Anancinae) from the Middle Awash Valley, Ethiopia, were recovered throughout 350 m of strata, representing some 1½ to 2 my. Specimens referred to the genus Anancus from the Adu-Asa and Sagantole Formations are more complete and more extensive than any ...

Diet of rinchothere (Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae,RhynchotheriumSpecies) of Taxco, Guerrero, México

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2015
Abstract The diet of a gomphothere (Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae, Rhynchotherium species) from the Mexican Pliocene was determined using carbon and oxygen stable isotopes relationships in dental enamel. The analyses demonstrated that this individual exclusively fed on C3 plants, similar to some specimens found in Florida, United States.

TWO NEW RECORDS OF GOMPHOTHERIIDAE (MAMMALIA: PROBOSCIDEA) IN SOUTHERN MÉXICO AND SOME BIOGEOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS

Journal of Paleontology, 2006
Abstract Two new records of gomphotheriid proboscideans, one identified as Rhynchotherium and the other as Cuvieronius, are reported in Mexico. Both records are in the southwesternmost points of their known distributional range. The remains of both genera consist of molars and tusks.

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

The GenusCuvieronius(Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae) from the Late Pleistocene of Valparaíso, Zacatecas, México

PaleoAmerica, 2015
The Order Proboscidea in Mexico is composed of the families Elephantidae, Mammutidae, and Gomphotheriidae. The last one includes the genus Cuvieronius. In this paper, we present a skull identified as the first record of Cuvieronius hyodon in Valparaiso, southwestern Zacatecas.

An updated taxonomic view on the family Gomphotheriidae (Proboscidea) in the final Pleistocene of south-central Chile

Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen, 2011
There is an abundant fossil record of the family Gomphotheriidae in Chile, which is en- tirely ascribed to the late Pleistocene. Despite this, the lack of taxonomically diagnostic material has lead to an extended discussion, which has not reached a consensus regarding the number of forms of gomphotheres effectively present.

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 ...

Enamel Structure of Cuvieronius hyodon (Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae) with a Discussion on Enamel Evolution in Elephantoids

Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2007
Dental material of the South American elephantoid Cuvieronius hyodon from the Late Pleistocene of the Tarija Basin, Bolivia was sampled for a comprehensive analysis of the microstructure of the enamel. To examine variability at the dentition level, enamel samples of the upper incisor, second deciduous premolar, and molars were sectioned.
