The Gomphotheriidae family belongs to the Proboscidea order. Gomphotheres were elephant-like mammals whose representatives inhabited North America from the Middle Miocene to the late Pleistocene. In this work, a gomphothere remains from Santiago Tepeticpac (Tlaxcala, Mexico) are described. The comparative study with other Proboscidea, mainly from different localities of Mexico and South America, mostly Argentina and Brazil, allowed to identify them as Cuvieronius genus. The microwear signature together with carbon and oxygen stable isotopes showed that this animal was a mixer feeder and inhabited open zones with patches of wooded flora. These analyses also indicated the presence of high abrasiveness components and C₄ plants (grasslands) and medium to low wearing elements as well as C₃ vegetation (forest) in the site. The strontium isotopic signature implies that this gomphothere lived in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley. The paleoenvironmental inferences would show regional conditions.

Gomphotheriidae 科属于 Proboscidea 目。Gomphotheres 是象大象一样的哺乳动物，其代表从中新世中期到更新世晚期居住在北美。在这项工作中，描述了来自 Santiago Tepeticpac（墨西哥特拉斯卡拉）的 gomphothere 遗骸。与其他长鼻目（主要来自墨西哥和南美洲的不同地区，主要是阿根廷和巴西）的比较研究允许将它们确定为Cuvieronius属。微磨损特征以及碳和氧稳定同位素表明，这种动物是混合饲养者，居住在带有树木繁茂植物群的开阔地带。这些分析还表明存在高磨蚀性组分和 C ₄植物（草地）和中到低磨损元素以及 C₃场地内的植被（森林）。锶同位素特征表明这种 go​​mphothere 生活在普埃布拉-特拉斯卡拉山谷。古环境推断将显示区域条件。
