List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Colombia

Fossiliferous stratigraphic units

Proposed reclassification of South American gomphotheres

• Stegomastodon is an exclusively North American genus
• Haplomastodon is a South American genus, but synonymous with Notiomastodon
• as Notiomastodon was defined earlier, all Haplomastodon species should be considered part of Notiomastodon
• all formerly described species as Stegomastodon sp., Haplomastodon sp. and Notiomastodon sp. belong to a single species; Notiomastodon platensis
• Cuvieronius is the only remaining South American genus outside of Notiomastodon

  Evolution

• Lucas proposes that Notiomastodon evolved from Cuvieronius inside South America
• Mothé et al. propose that Notiomastodon and Cuvieronius reached South America in two separate migration waves
