Scientists discovered stegodon fossils in a karst cave in northwest China on November 13 while investigating sinkhole groups in an underground river canyon to explore the groundwater's source. They later discovered the hollow fossil that is similar to an elephant incisor, and two huge axle-tooth fossils and some fossil fragments. The stegodon, an extinct elephant-like mammal, lived between 6 million to 10,000 years ago. The fossils provide further evidence for researching the evolutionary history of sinkhole groups in the area. #fossil #stegodon
