Abstract
- An elephant tusk has been found in a fluvial terrace of a small creek affluent of the Martin river. The tooth is slightly curved, almost round in section and becomes increasingly smaller towards the tip. The specimens measurements and morphology lead us to propose it as a task of the "wood elephant" of the Pleistocene of Europe: Paleoloxodon antiquus, probably of an adult male
