#FossilAdventCalendar Day 1
We begin our journey north in #Ontario, #Canada π¨π¦, with the #Welland #mastodon (Mammut americanum) unearthed close to #NiagaraFalls and exhibited in the #RoyalOntarioMuseum. Like all #proboscideans - the group that also includes #elephants - #mastodons had #tusks, but one is missing from this individual. The fact that the socket for its left tusk is closed suggests that this was a birth defect rather than the result of injury or disease.

Introduction. I'm the head curator at the #GrayFossilSite, #ETSU. I do #paleontology of #quaternary #mammals like extinct #proboscideans (mastodons...err... #Mammut). #Bison and #mammoth too, but only on Thursdays.
I'm fascinated with the #paleoecology of places around me--whether #GreatPlains and #prairies or high elevation #Appalachian #GrassyBalds.
My past life in #archaeology pops up quite often--whether the origins of North American #dogs or #megafaunal #extinctions.
