The existence of the modern elephant shrew implies the existence of an extinct "platybelodon shrew", a shovel tusker that I have named the "shroop".

Wait, they found perserved pieces of gomphothere *meat* on bone and the new chronology is supposed to be 4 ka to 8ka?
Gomphothere *meat* is supposed to have gotten sheet washed into a side after it eroded out of its original 14 ka location?
Come the fuck on.
