A proboscidean from the late Oligocene of Eritrea, a "missing link" between early Elephantiformes and Elephantimorpha, and biogeographic implications. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2006 We report on a late Oligocene proboscidean species from Eritrea, dated to 26.8 ± 1.5 Mya. This “missing link” between early elephantiformes and Elephantimorpha is the oldest known nongomphothere proboscidean to probably display horizontal tooth ...
