Choerolophodon pentelici
(GAUDRY & LARTET, 1856)
The
SMNK
collection includes only a score of
postcranials
. Because late Miocene Proboscidean postcranials have been neglected, these bones neither confirm nor refute GAZIRYʼs (1976) identification of
Choerolophodon pentelici
, but since this identification was based upon a tooth fragment, it can be accepted.
