Many basal forms of this group like Gomphotherium possessed down curving tusks and lower shovel shaped tusks. Although it resembled an Elephant or Mastodon with spiral shaped tusks, it was instead related to another group of proboscidians, the Gomphotheres. This species was around 3.5 meters long standing about 2.3 meters tall, and its weight was estimated to be around 3.5 tons. hyodon, was the one who lived in South America. Today there are 4 species of Cuvieronius, but only the type species, C. The name is after the famous French naturalist George Cuvier, which also studied those fossils some time earlier. Described for the first time in 1824 by Fischer as Mastotherium, it changed name several times, only receiving its official name in 1923 by Henry Osborn. Proboscidians are one of the most successful groups of Cenozoic mammals, being able to colonize almost every continent, and until very recently, a few species were even widespread in South America, one of them being the bizarre and interesting Cuvieronius. #Cuvieronius #cuvieroniushyodon #gomphothere #pleistocene #megafauna #drawing #draw #paleoart The most characteristic of this animal are its curved tusks from the inside out, which had an enamel band that surrounded them, in addition to the fact that in the young specimens they had lower tusks, a vestigial feature of its ancestor Rhynchotherium, but these inferiors tusks lost them as they grew.
The difference in diet and its great ability to be found in various environments allowed it to inhabit a wide geographic range, from the southern United States (Texas) to Bolivia, without having to compete with other proboscideans such as Notiomastodon in South America, in addition to the columbian mammoth and the american mastodon in North America. #museoalcidedorbigny #mhnnkm #elefant #noelkempffmercado #riksmuseet #mnhnparis #mnhnbolivia #fosilbol #fossil #fosilĬuvieronius hyodon, known as mountain gomphothere or highland gomphothere, since in South America it has been found in the mountainous regions of the Andes which inhabited from the beginning of the Pliocene to the Pleistocene, becoming extinct in South America 40,000 years ago and in North America until just 11,550 years ago. Además de ejemplares famosos y muy completos en los museos de historia natural de Paris y Estocolmo. Los fósiles de estos animales están expuestos en el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de La Paz, Museo Nacional Arqueológico Paleontológico de #Tarija, Museo Noel Kempf Mercado de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Museo de Historia Natural Alcide d'Orbigny de Cochabamba. Sus enormes huesos originaron historias de Gigantes transmitidas por los primeros cronistas españoles que llegaron durante la época de la colonia, siendo fuente de inspiración para los naturalistas europeos que los redescubrieron y estudiaron durante el siglo 19. En Bolivia se han hallado sus fósiles prácticamente en todas las regiones aunque son notoriamente importantes en el Valle de #Tarija y #Tolomosa.
