fig rocks Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Wow, that's too cool! It almost looks mammoth-like. They must have munched on the same types of food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regainfreedom Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Wow, that's too cool! It almost looks mammoth-like. They must have munched on the same types of food. As s stegodon uses its teeth it wears down to what looks like a mammoth tooth and eventually will be replaced by the tooth behind it. The newly erupted tooth or tooth that has not been worn down has a round roof ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
