Summary
| Description |
Gomphotherium osborni (Barbour, 1916) - fossil elephant skeleton from the Middle Miocene of Nebraska, USA. (public display, Nebraska State Museum of Natural History, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA) From museum signage: "Most elephants have only two tusks, but many ancient ones had four. Notice the extra pair in the lower jaw. Like living bulldozers, "four tuskers" were built for power, not speed. With a massive lower jaw, short legs, and bulky muscles they plowed through the lush Nebraska forests between 6 and 14 million years ago. Prod tuskers are America's most ancient elephants." Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Placentalia, Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site in Webster County, southern Nebraska, USA See info. at: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomphotherium" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomphotherium</a> |
