Dublin Core
Alternative Title
Juvenile Mastodon jaw with tooth (F. Mammutidae)
Description
(DSM #FQP106) This fossil is exceptional because it shows a partial jaw of a baby mastodon. The molar preserved within still has the high cusps because the animal was not alive long enough for the teeth to be worn down from eating.
