Gomphotherium angustidens (Cuvier, 1806) (Proboscidea, Mammalia) from the Miocene of Przeworno (Silesia, Poland)

  • Henryk KUBIAK

Abstract:

Molar teeth, tusks and several bones of the postcranial skeleton belonging to the mastodont Gomphotherium angustidens from the fossil fauna of Upper Vindobonian age from Przeworno in Silesia are described. The mastodont remains from Przeworno, along with the earlier find from Opole, situated in the vicinity of the present locality, are so far the only finds of Miocene mastodonts in Poland, although this species occurs relatively often in Europe.
