dc.description.abstractThe Proboscidea were very prominent in South American ecosystems during the Pleistocene and part of the Holocene. Specifically, in Valle del Cauca (Colombia), fossils of these large mammals have been found, reflecting an abundant presence in the region. In this work, a mandibular fragment with a complete last molar (m3) is reported, found near the bed of the Cauca River, in the Juanchito municipality of Santiago de Cali. According to the morphological features of the specimen, it is proposed that the remains belong to the proboscidean Notiomastodon platensis. This study emphasizes the large geographical distribution of this proboscidean in South America, including the Valle del Cauca, and provides new information on its presence in Colombia. In a paleoecological context, this work supports a generalist condition based on the use of food resources associated with the tropical dry forest during the processes of glacial and interglacial fluctuation that this type of ecosystem experienced during the Pleistocene epoch and that led to various changes in habitat aridity, fragmentation, and heterogeneity.
