Southeast Asia
At the beginning of the Late Pleistocene, Southeast Asia was a continent rather than a series of archipeligos. Fluctuating sea levels have alternately submerged and exposed large areas of land numerous times over the past 2 million years. Fossils found throughout Southeast Asia, such as Stegodon specimens, illustrate these geologic changes, as the same species are found from Indonesia to Malaysia to the Philippines.
Stegodon specimens are exceedingly rare. 1- to 2-million-year-old member of the Elephantidae subfamily, this genus is considered the ancestor of elephants, mastodons and mammoths. The genus Stegodon, from the Greek, stegos, meaning roof, and odon, meaning tooth (referring to the step ridges on the molar tooth) originated in the Late Miocene in Asia.
100% a real fossil, I am a geologist and can
guarantee so.
