Stegodon (Elephas Beyeri)

Fossils of the stegodon, an extinct elephant-like mammal believed to be two million years old, were discovered in Trece Hermanas quarry in Barangay Peñafrancia, Marikina in July 1986 by the National Institute of Geological Science (NIGS) of the University of the Philippines. Dr. Walter Scholl, a visiting Geology professor, confirmed the fossil as those of Stegodon-a dwarf elephant with four long tusks.
