Date asupra descoperirii de Mammuthus trogontherii (Pohlig, 1885) (Proboscidea, Mammalia) de la Roşieşti (Vaslui)

  • Subiect: „In the fifth decade of the last century, during the sand extraction in a local open-pit at Roşieşti, a fossil Proboscidean mandible had been found. This discovery remained practically unknown, although the mandible had been reconstructed and exposed at “Vasile Pârvan” Museum in Bârlad.The mandible size and morphology fit for the steppe mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii). The main arguments are the enamel thickness and the lamellar frequency of the lower last molars.According to this mammoth, the sands from Roşieşti could belong either to Elster/Mindel, or early Saale/Riss glaciations. However, a better stratigraphy would need additional faunal representatives, mainly stratigraphic markers.”
