Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. van der Geer et al. 2014 | Palaeoloxodon lomolinoi is about ten percent the body mass of Palaeoloxodon antiquus, has a higher lamellar frequency and thicker enamel. It differs from Palaeoloxodon creutzburgi, Palaeoloxodon ‘mnaidriensis’ and P. sp. from Delos in its greater size reduction. It differs from Palaeoloxodon cypriotes and Palaeoloxodon falconeri (Spinagallo, Sicily) in its lesser size reduction. Palaeoloxodon lomolinoi has thicker enamel (ranging between 2 and 3 mm) than all other Mediterranean dwarf Palaeoloxodon, except for Palaeoloxodon tiliensis. |
