Abstract
In the year 1994 was the discovery of a juvenile mastodon skull in the rural area of Turbaná town. This report describes the sample and briefly summarized the approach of different authors concerning the nomenclature and systematic position of the South American mastodons. The specimen is tentatively assigned to the specie Stegomastodon waringi (Holland, 1920), until an official statement from the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature resolve and clarify the validity of the taxonomic criteria and the prevalence of the different names used over time to classify the remains of this group of South American megafauna.
