216 regular light-microscopic studies, the field of view (0.4× 0.3 mm) and the total number of
observed scars (usually 20-40 on each image) was approximately the same, therefore we
used the light microscopic data of Solounias & Semprebon (2002) and Rivals et al.(2012) for
comparison. Palombo et al.(2005) or Todd et al.(2007) reached similar conclusions
regarding the comparability of these methods. According to our microwear data (Fig. 1A), M.
rumanus and M. meridionalis were browsers, whereas M. trogontherii and M. primigenius …

According to our microwear data (Fig. 1A), M. rumanus and M. meridionalis were browsers, whereas M. trogontherii and M. primigenius were mixed feeders or more likely grazers. Preliminary results show that the studied non-elephantid proboscideans were mainly browsers with extensive bark consumption. Variation of wear features within a single molar is less than 30%(or usually less than 10% in the case of grazers).
