I just did a Google search for " gomphothere ". and got 33,100 results and great photos under images.

Miocene_Mason Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I think mastodon teeth are more symmetrical with two lines of cusps whereas gompths are just kinda sloppily put together (no idea if that’s right). Gompths are much rarer I’ve heard, nice buy “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
