摘要/Abstract

摘要： 描述了一件象属(Elephas)的右上臼齿化石。标本产自印度查谟紧靠上西瓦立克亚群巨砾岩组(Boulder Conglomerate Formation)之上的砂质、粉砂质泥岩夹砾石层中，化石地点位于查谟市南10 km, Kharian村北约500 m处。根据齿板数、齿脊频率、釉质层厚度、冠高指数、绝对大小和齿长/齿高指数等牙齿形态参数，暂时将之归为Elephas cf. E. maximus indicus。还简短讨论了象属的地理分布和地质时代。

Abstract: An upper right molar of Elephas is described from the sandy-silty mudstone containing small pebbles immediately overlying the Boulder Conglomerate Formation of the Upper Siwalik Subgroup of Jammu, exposed500 m north of Kharian village and 10 km south of Jammu city. Based on the dental morphological parameters including plate number, lamellar frequency, enamel thickness, hypsodonty index, absolute size, length/width index it is tentatively referred to Elephas cf. E. maximus indicus. A brief discussion on distribution and age of this Elephas is also presented.
