Abstract
The German sites bearing straight-tusked elephant remains cover a period from 400 Ka (MIS 11) to the Eemian age (MIS 5e). The material excavated since 1980, in the lacustrine sediments of Neumark Nord (Eastern Germany), is one ofthe most outstanding samples of straight-tusked elephants in Europe. The Neumark-Nord material enhances our knowledgeof the body size, sexual dimorphism, ontogenetic growth and morphological variability of Palaeoloxodon antiquus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
