Fluctuating sea levels have alternately submerged and exposed large areas of land numerous times over the past 2 million years. Specimens found throughout Southeast Asia, such as Stegodon specimens, illustrate these geologic changes, as the same species are found from Indonesia to Malaysia to the Philippines.Stegodon specimens are exceedingly rare. 1- to 2-million-year-old member of the Elephantidae subfamily, this genus is considered the ancestor of elephas, mastodons and mammoths. The genus Stegodon, from the Greek, stegos, meaning roof, and odon, meaning t**th (referring to the step ridges on the molar t**th) originated in the Late Miocene in Asia. The gemstone material (agate and jasper) that replaces the dung over the millions of years makes these specimens attractive to be sliced and made into beads or jewelry, or show it off as a paperweight or display specimen.
