Fossils of Loxodonta adaurora have only been found in Africa, where they developed in the Pliocene.[1] L. adaurora was presumed to be the genetic antecedent of the two modern African elephant species;[2] however, an analysis in 2009 suggested that L. africana evolved from L. atlantica.[3] References1. ^{{Cite web | url=http://www.elephant.se/loxodonta.php | title=The genus Loxodonta, member of the family of elephants}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q6694296}}{{paleo-mammal-stub}}2. ^{{Cite book | last = Kalb | first = Jon E. |author2=Assefa Mebrate | title = Fossil Elephantoids from the Hominid-Bearing Awash Group, Middle Awash Valley, Afar Depression, Ethiopia | publisher = The American Philosophical Society | date = 1993 | location = Independence Square, Philadelphia | pages = 52–59 | url = https://books.google.com/?id=AOzn0vdaDgUC&lpg=PA53&dq=Loxodonta%20adaurora&pg=PA59#v=onepage&q=Loxodonta%20adaurora&f=false | isbn = 978-0-87169-831-5 }} 3. ^The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology Volume 293, Issue 1, Article first published online: 20 NOV 2009: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.21010/pdf, retrieved 2 December 2011. 5 : Prehistoric elephants|Pliocene proboscideans|Pleistocene species extinctions|Pliocene mammals of Africa|Fossil taxa described in 1970 |
