diginupbones Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 A first for me and the most beautiful tooth I’ve ever found! Pretty excited about this one. Obviously not an expert here but I think I’ve got it narrowed down to juvenile mastodon. Hopefully I can get a positive ID from the experts! Miocene, south central SD.

Huntonia Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I believe M. Americanum is the only mastodon species in the area but I could be wrong. In any case definitely a mastodon partial! Fantastic find! Really killer color on that one! @Harry Pristis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I agree with Huntonia. 3 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diginupbones Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks! I guess that puts this more into the Pleistocene Epoch rather than the Miocene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
