Post any mastodon teeth you have. I love to see the different mineralization these things have, some are really unique. I only have this partial but it has some pretty cool colors. Post any nice gomphothere stuff you have too.

awesome partial jaw, I wonder if the enamel color is similar to what it would be when the mastodon was living.

Here are a few of my Mastodon Teeth from various locations.

Very nice Proboscidea collection, I especially like the complete gomphothere tooth in the middle, looks like a Chinese specimen, those are very rare.

Context is critical.

I have four molars dredged off shore along the southern New Jersey coast by scallop fishing boats. Attached are all four I loaned for a fossils exhibit at our local historical society museum. Also in the photo is a mammoth tooth also found in the ocean off the southern NJ cost which belongs to another contributor to the exhibit.

The molar on the left was found less than a month ago.

wow that's amazing, new Jersey mastodon teeth are a rarity. That's very cool that you loaned some of your fossils to a museum, I have thought about doing that for some time.
