Holotype skull MNHN PM69 and fourteen referred specimens from Sidi Chennane test primitive proboscidean dental and cranial anatomy in a source-bounded morphology matrix.
Automated checks cover structure, identifiers, translations and links only; maintainer and external expert review are not complete.
Eritherium azzouzorum is bounded by a 15-specimen hypodigm including holotype skull MNHN PM69 from the lower bone bed of Sidi Chennane, Morocco, within an approximately 60.5–59.2 Ma interval; this is not a global Proboscidea origin or direct ancestor range.
claim:taxon:eritherium:fossil-rangeMNHN PM69 and fourteen referred specimens define Eritherium azzouzorum; the source's stem-proboscidean placement is a character-matrix result, not a direct ancestry claim.
claim:taxon:eritherium:taxonomyThe profile is limited to the lower bone bed of phosphate bed IIa at Sidi Chennane in Morocco's Ouled Abdoun Basin; this locality does not establish the distribution or geographic origin of Proboscidea.
claim:taxon:eritherium:biogeographyCranial and dental anatomy permits comparative functional interpretation, but diet, habitual habitat, locomotion and behaviour are not directly observed in the 15-specimen hypodigm.
claim:taxon:eritherium:ecologyHolotype skull MNHN PM69 preserves a rostrum and maxillary dentition, while fourteen referred specimens extend the sampled upper and lower teeth and cranial anatomy.
