摘要: 3D scans and modeling are used to assist the taxonomy of a new unique fossil specimen an elephant maxilla with molars heavily eroded by coastal sea waves, encrusted in extremely hard sediment, making preparation measurements classical digital calipers impossible. The has been collected north Poros on coast at SE Kephallenia consolidated fan- conglomerates sands. is first significant from all Ionian Islands. According its dimensions characteristics it attributed endemic island species, Elephas cephallonicus that lived isolated mainland 104.2 ± 18.5 ka ago. existence this period full accordance palaeogeographic evolution Islands, which strongly indicated natural climatic changes during last hundred thousand years. became extinct possibly ice age.
