dc.description.abstract |
A modern African elephant tusk was discovered within a late Pleistocene aeolianite at Reunion Rocks, south of Durban. Ionium dating indicates that the tusk is older than 112 kyr BP with stratigraphic control suggesting a date at ca. 130 kyr BP. Preliminary carbon stable-isotopic analyses indicate that the elephant was a grass-grazer. Strontium isotopic analyses indicate a marine signature: this implies that the tusk suffered marine diagenesis or that the elephant accumulated a marine strontium isotope signature by living along the coastline. |
