The evidence is overwhelming that elephants, i.e. Mastodons, existed contemporaneously with man after the ice age; within Book of Mormon times (1,600 BC – 400 AD), and went extinct possibly because of tuberculous:
“A 2006 study identified tuberculous lesions in 59 of 113 mastodon (Mammut americanum) skeletons (52%) and implicated TB in the mastodon’s extinction” (Rothschild, B.M., Helbling, M. & Laub, R., 2006, “Hyperdisease in the late Pleistocene: Validation of an early 20th century hypothesis.” Naturwissenchaften 93:557-564).
This 2003 paper listed 343+ sites in Mexico or Central America where Columbian mammoth, American mastodons or other Cuvieroniinae have been found.

Dwarf proboscideans are known to have lived in the Channel Islands of California.[24] The Columbian mammoth colonized the Channel Islands and evolved into the pygmy mammoth.
This species reached a height of 1.2–1.8 m (4–6 ft) and weighed 200–2,000 kg (440–4,410 lb). A population of small woolly mammoths survived on Wrangel Island as recently as 4,000 years ago.[24]
Supposedly, The Elephant Slabs are written in the Vai script which was used by the Malians to record their messages when they came to the Americas. The Malians sailed to the Americas around 1310. The Mandinkas founded the Mali Empire.
There are two Elephant Slabs.
The larger slab with eight lines of inscriptions is six inches wide and fourteen inches long (15 cm by 35.5 cm).
The smaller slab is six inches wide and six inches long (15 cm by 15 cm)
The Elephant Slabs were discovered in 1910 in Native American ruins, by a boy at Flora Vista, New Mexico. Edwin Sayles (Arizona State Museum) claimed that the Elephant Slabs arrived at the museum in 1950 - The elephant-decorated Montezuma Valley Jar, was found by Frederick Bennett Wright in 1885 & Wright claimed the jar was found in ruins situated in the Montezuma Valley “within sight” of the place where the Elephant Slabs were found.
