The Early Eocene deposits ofEl Kohol, Algeria, have yielded numerous remains Numi-dotherium koholense, one of the most primitive and oldest known proboscideans in Africa.The Upper Eocene proboscideans of the Fayum locality (Egypt), Barytherium sp. andMoeritherium sp., were recently interpreted as aquatic or semi-aquatic, according to thestable isotopic compositions (i
