Raptor9468 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Seems like G. angustidens lived in europe in the miocene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I find reference to only one: Gomphotherium angustidens found in the French Miocene. But then, I haven't tried Google, have you? http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yes, Gomphotherium angustidens from France : - Channay-sur-Lathan (37), Langhian, - En Péjouan, Castelnau Barbarens, Simorre, Sansan (32), Middle Miocene. And Gomphotherium subtapiroideum (Schlesinger, 1917) : - Lambesc (13), Middle Miocene. (Information found on the web).

Max-fossils Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 For questions like these, I highly recommend using Fossilworks, which is a great database of a bunch of different species and where and when they lived. A search for Gomphotherium will show you that during the Miocene, the genus has been reported multiple times from several European countries. Looking at each database will give you info on the exact age, what other species were found there, and more. Give it a try 3 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

DD1991 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 There's another European Gomphotherium species, G. steinheimensis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD1991 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Welcomme (1994) described the new Gomphotherium species G. hannibali from the Early Miocene of southern France, and there's also a paper by Gasparik and Markov (2009) that regards Gomphotherium praetypicum as a valid Gomphotherium species. Gasparik, M., and Markov, G. N., 2009. Gomphotherium ’annectens group’ (Proboscidea) in Hungary. Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 27: 73–79. Welcomme, J.–L., 1994.
