The origin of the gomphotheres migration into North America is believed to have happened during the Great American Biotic Interchange, which occurred during the late pleistocene. [1] There is however some discussion pointing to an unsureness in just how gomphotheres got here. Other hypothesis' state that they could have migrated during the Late Milocene or after the Isthmus of Panama closed.
