Amebelodon Sinclairi Sp Nov., Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum

Amebelodonts are so new and so rare that even fragmentary facts relative to the group seem worth publishing. The specimen under consideration is a mandibular tusk found on the farm of Mr. A. S. Keith, Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, on the Morrill Geological Expedition of 1928, and is numbered 1-17-7-28, S. and L., the collectors being Bertrand Schultz and John LeMar, both of the class of 1931, the University of Nebraska. The formation was Late Pliocene or Pleistocene.
