''Palaeomastodon'' an extinct genus of Proboscidea. ''Palaeomastodon'' fossils have been found in Africa, lived some 36-35 million years ago. They are believed to be the ancestors of elephants or mastodons. This genus is related to ''Moeritherium''.〔(The genus Palaeomastodon )〕 ''Palaeomastodon'' had tusks, both upper and lower, and it had a trunk. It was 1 to 2 meters tall and weighed up to 2 tonnes. The lower tusks were flat rather than pointed cones, and were probably used to scoop plants from swampy water. == Sources ==
