Abstract
The National Geological Museum 'José Royo y Gómez' of INGEOMINAS (Instituto Colombiano de Geología y Minería), in a field commission made in September 2008, found a nearly complete lower jaw of Granastrapotherium snorki Johnson & Madden, 1997. This work describes and illustrates the evidence of it. A few numbers of specimens were reported in Colombian collections.
