Answer: Maharashtra
Notes: Rare fossils of the extinct Stegodon Ganesa have been discovered in the Wardha-Penganga riverbed, Maharashtra. Stegodon Ganesa was an ancient elephant species and is considered the ancestor of present-day Asiatic elephants. The fossils are estimated to be 25,000 years old and date back to the late Pleistocene period. A unique feature of Stegodon Ganesa was its long tusks that were placed so close together there was no space for a trunk between them. The Penganga River, which is 676 kilometres long, starts from the Ajantha ranges in Aurangabad district, Maharashtra. It flows along the border of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh before merging with the Wardha River.
