The excavation site of fossilized bones of an extinct elephant species scientifically identified as Elephas hysudrindicus, or popularly called "Blora elephant", in Sunggun, Mendalem, Kradenan, Blora, Central Java, Indonesia. The team of scientists from Vertebrate Research (Geological Agency, Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources) led by Iwan Kurniawan and Fachroel Aziz discovered the species' bones almost entirely (around 90 percent complete) that later would allow them to build a scientific reconstruction, which is displayed at Geology Museum in Bandung, West Java. Lived during Pleistocene epoch, Elephas hysudrindicus is a part of the extinct megafauna discoveries that help scientific research on, among others, the ancient faunal migration related to the geological processes, according to Fachroel Aziz. The excavation site was approximately 2 kilometers away from Bengawan Solo river.
