Abstract:

Very limited and fragmentary remains of proboscideans have been recovered from the Miocene fluvio-paludal deposits of the northern Sperrgebiet. An upper molar from Elisabethfeld is identified as Eozygodon morotoensis, and there is a fragment of gomphothere enamel proving the presence of a second lineage of proboscideans in the region. In addition there is a proboscidean atlas vertebra and a series of footprints at Elisabethfeld that were most likely made by a proboscidean
