Has there been any latest word on the systematics of gomphotheriine gomphotheres from North America? As far as I know, Shoshani et al. (2006) list Serridentinus as separate from Gomphotherium in their cladistic analysis of Eritreum, and I've also read that the Gomphotherium from New Mexico could represent multiple species (Heckert et al. 2000), and that Lambert and Shoshani list some North American gomphotheres synonymized with Gomphotherium by Tobien (1973) as distinct from Gomphotherium (e.g. Gnathabelodon, Eubelodon, Megabelodon).

Finally made it back to the Peace River ,Fl for my first hunt of the season. It was a good day overall. Along with numerous and varied small shark teeth I came up with these two finds that I am hoping for some input on for a positive ID. First up is a piece of ivory that I believe must be Gomphotherium due to the black banding. I considered it might be staining from the river but it looks to uniform and seems to be layered. Next is what I believe to be Artiodactyl in nature. Maybe camel or llama. My hesitation with this ID is the size. I believe it is a partial molar 2 7/8” tall x 1” thick x 3/4” wide. This seems quite large for either camel or llama. I looked at bison but didn’t think the bite surface was a match. Any insights or opinions would be appreciated, Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have been offered this tooth by one guy. He said this is Gomphotherium. Because I don't have any knowledge about this so can you help me to identify the tooth is actually Gomphotherium or not (I know that there are some ancient elephant from Germany also). Is this a suitable price to get this piece? Thanks for your help!

Hi guys! I have this tiny proboscid tooth from Asia (not sure exactly where) and I believe it to be a Gomphothere but don't know any more than that. Its so small it looks like a baby tooth. Anyone have any info? PS. I need to clean it up, it has a lot of white limestone (chalk?) still on the fossil. Any help would be appreciated!

This tooth was presumably found around the Khorat Plateau region of Thailand. I was told it's probably a Gomphotherium tooth but I can't be 100% certain as I am not that knowledgeable in Proboscidea specimens even the ones from my own country. So what do u guys think it is? Thx in advance for any insight and help from any local Proboscidean experts here
