The biogeography of the gomphotheriid proboscideans of North America
Abstract The gomphothere proboscideans sensu Iato, consisting of the Gomphotheriidae including Amebelodontinae were arguably the most successful of all the proboscideans in terms of their longevity and geographical distribution. They lasted at least from the earliest Miocene to the end of the Pleist...
