	Gomphothere remains are common at South American Paleo-indian sites.[2] One example is the early human settlement at Monte Verde, Chile, dating to approximately 14,000 years ago.

	Gomphotheres differed from elephants in their tooth structure, particularly the chewing surfaces on the molar teeth. Most had four tusks, and their retracted facial and nasal bones prompt paleontologists to believe that gomphotheres had elephant-like trunks.<ref>"Gomphothere'' ''wikipedia.org'' (accessed 9 December 2008).

	Recently, archaeologists from the University of Arizona discovered Gomphotheres bones which showed evidence of having been hunted by humans in North America 13,400 years ago. Prior to this it was believed that they had died out prior to the arrival of humans in North America.

	Gomphotheres were smaller than mammoths -- about the same size as modern elephants. They once were widespread in North America, but until now they seemed to have disappeared from the continent's fossil record long before humans arrived in North America, which happened some 13,000 to 13,500 years ago, during the late Ice Age.

	However, the bones that Holliday and his colleagues uncovered date back 13,400 years, making them the last known gomphotheres in North America. <ref>[http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/140714152431.htm "Bones of elephant ancestor unearthed: Meet the gomphothere,"] ''Science Daily'' (July 14, 2014)</ref>		However, the bones that Holliday and his colleagues uncovered date back 13,400 years, making them the last known gomphotheres in North America. <ref>[http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/140714152431.htm "Bones of elephant ancestor unearthed: Meet the gomphothere,"] ''Science Daily'' (July 14, 2014)</ref>
