报道和描述了一件平额象左侧M3化石。新材料产自Nangal村附近火山灰层之下的泥岩层,该火山灰是出露于查谟-克什米尔桑巴地区Barakhetar上西瓦立克亚群Nagrota组中年龄为2.48 Ma的火山灰层的延伸。根据齿板数,臼齿长和宽,齿冠长、宽和高,釉质和齿质厚度,齿板长和宽,齿脊频率,冠高指数以及白垩质厚度等齿冠形态参数,暂时将之归为Elephas cf.E.planifrons。新材料的发现将该种的分布上限从2.6 Ma提高到2.48 Ma。
Reported and described a flat figure like the left M3 fossil. The new material was produced from a mudstone beneath the volcanic ash layer near the village of Nangal, an extension of the volcanic ash layer of 2.48 Ma exposed in the Nagrota Formation of the Barakhetar group in Barakhetar, Jammu-Kashmir, in the Jammu-Kashmir region. According to the number of tooth plate, molar length and width, crown length, width and height, enamel and tooth thickness, tooth plate length and width, tooth ridge frequency, crown index and chalky thickness of crown shape parameters temporarily Classified as Elephas cf.E.planifrons. The discovery of new materials increased the upper limit of distribution for this species from 2.6 Ma to 2.48 Ma.
