Biology:Stenobelodon
From HandWiki
Stenobelodon is an extinct genus of amebelodont proboscidean from the Miocene of North America. The only known species was formerly considered to belong to the genus Amebelodon but was distinguished in 2023 based on the short and only partially flattened lower tusks and the closer resemblance of its cheek teeth to those of Gomphotherium than to its purported close relatives.[1] Fossils are known from Florida and Kansas. However, many other authors does not support the distinction of the genus and recovered it to Amebelodon. Although the re-referral was contested by Lambert.[2][3][4]
