	Cohoes Mastodont (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		One of the most exciting projects I worked on while at the New York State Museum was the restoration of a mastodont.
		Approximately 11,000 years old, a mastodont is named for its' teeth.
		In Latin the word mastodont translates into mast: nipple and dont:teeth.

		Mastodont and mammoth bonesites also probably reflect the same kinds of features.
		Allowing for differences in habitats between the North American Pleistocene contexts and the recent African contexts, it is possible to use observations and principles derived from the modern elephant stud-ies to reconstruct important characteristics of extinct mammoth and mastodont life.
		The death processes affecting mastodonts were not necessarily distinct from the processes affecting mammoths.

		While mastodont findings are not uncommon in Indiana, the animals are usually found alone.
		Richards believes the mastodonts were young adults and probably female.
		The museum is considered to be the mastodont expert in Indiana and its research is used around the country.

		Certain mastodont bones appear to have been broken as if the marrow had been extracted for food, and other important parts of the skeleton are missing, as if they had been carried away.
		Some of the mastodonts begin eating willow plants, while others drink the mildly salty water, which is sucked up into the trunks and then sprayed into their mouths.
		Others in the mastodont troop also show interest in the object, which is the skull of another mastodont killed that spring by hunters.

	Chicago Wilderness Magazine - Wetland Restoration Uncovers Ancient Ecology
		In August, contractors for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County uncovered prehistoric mastodont remains.
		The American mastodont, or mastodon, which grew as tall as ten feet and weighed an estimated four to seven tons, last lived in Illinois at the end of the recent ice age, about 13,000 years ago.
		Scientists also have been piecing together a picture of the mastodont’s habitat — a practice called “paleoecology” — thanks to discoveries unfolding over the past few years just 100 meters away from the mastodont find.

		Mastodont web pages, or rather www.mastodont.tk, which was the web address while the web page was still active, were in a way a prequel to borislavdopudja.net.
		Mastodont was meant to be some sort of an eZine.
		All of the texts that could be found on long gone mastodont web pages can now be found on these web pages, look under texts (they are currently being processed).

		One of the first fossils found on this project was track ways left in the mud by either mammoths or mastodonts as they plodded along the margin of the river or pond.
		Later, fossil bones of a mammoth and a mastodont were also collected from the same river deposits as the tapir.
		Mammoth and mastodonts are long gone, but tapirs still live in tropical areas of the world.

	AGE, SEX, AND SEASON OF DEATH OF THE GRANDVILLE MASTODONT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		The Grandville mastodont, from Kent County, Michigan, has been radiocarbon dated at 11,320 ± 140 B.P. Longitudinal sectioning of its right tusk provides access to samples of tusk dentin formed throughout life and exposes incremental features that allow direct correlation of annual dentin increments among samples.
		A short-term decline in the rate of increase of tusk length around age 15 may reflect expulsion from a matriarchal family unit at the onset of sexual maturity.
		The age and life history data obtained from this individual will be useful in characterizing the population dynamics of late Pleistocene mastodonts of the Great Lakes region and in evaluating hypotheses for their extinction.

		The age of some fossil remains of mastodont only 10.000 years, that meets to time of development like culture of primitive inhabitant of North America.
		At mastodont were large top tusks and, occasionally, at male, small bottom.
		It is possible, that the disappearance of mastodont was promoted by a hunt on them ancient primitive inhabitant of North America.

		The remains of the Scrivens Mastodont were first discovered by Veronica Scrivens on property owned by her and her husband Aaron.
		Probing also proved unsuccessful, which led the research team to conclude that the mastodont was underneath fill that was placed at one end of the pond many decades ago.
		Aaron and Veronica Scrivens are the owners of the property on which the mastodont was discovered.

	Report to the State Board of Regents - November 1997
		The Cohoes Mastodont - one of the oldest known nearly complete fossil skeletons of the Ice Age elephant-like animal - will go on display in the State Museum for the first time since 1976.
		A generous grant from Marine Midland Bank enabled the Mastodont's bones, tusks and teeth to be conserved and reassembled.
		The Roycroft Desktop, Arts and Crafts: From the Collections of the New York State Museum, and the Cohoes Mastodont are preludes to the later winter 1998 opening of the Harlem exhibit.

	EXCAVATION OF MASTODONT REMAINS FROM MASTODON LAKE IN AURORA, IL
		Mastodon Lake is within a kettle on the western flank of the Minooka Moraine formed during the last glaciation in northeastern Illinois.
		It is called Mastodon Lake because of the discovery of multiple mastodont bones in marl below peat and muck during its excavation in 1933 by the Civil Works Administration (CWA), a federal work project during the Great Depression.
		Many of the recovered mastodont bones are currently on display in the visitors center in Phillips Park.

	Mastodon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mastodons or Mastodonts are members of the extinct genus Mammut of the order Proboscidea and form the family Mammutidae; they resembled, but were distinct from, the woolly mammoth which belongs to the family Elephantidae.
		They differed from mammoths primarily in the blunt, conical shape of their teeth [1], which were more suited to chewing leaves than the high-crowned teeth mammoths used for grazing; the name mastodon (or mastodont) means mastoid teeth (Greek μαστός and οδούς "nipple tooth"), and is also an obsolete name for their genus.
		Their skulls were larger and flatter than those of mammoths, while their skeleton was stockier and more robust.

	The Cohoes Mastodont
		Thousands of years ago herds of Mastodonts wandered what is now New York.
		Today the mastodont is an icon of the State Museum.
		Excavated in 1866, the conserved and reassembled Cohoes mastodont is currently on exhibition in the museum's main Lobby with an in-depth interactive station with interviews with leading scientists studying this magnificent specimen.

	Butch And Brett Do Time Digging Bones In Penitentiary; Mastodont Excavation Turns Up Human Skeleton
		As if it weren't bizarre enough to be excavating a mastodont skeleton under the continuous "protection" of prison guards (Brett and Butch had at least two armed guards watching them at all times), the episode turned even more weird when a human skeleton was discovered in the same outcrop about 20 feet above the mastodont.
		Butch reported in a letter that "the mastodont was about 25% complete, buried in a Pleistocene loess deposit about 8,000 to 10,000 years old." Brett said they found a femur, pelvis, radius, ulna, humerus, tusk, teeth, skull parts, some ribs and a vertebra in the two weeks they dug.
		The prison guards developed their own theories about the provenance of the mastodont fossil, the human remains, and how they came to be associated with one another in the hillside.

		Note that later, geneticists speak of MASTodonts and physicians of MAST cells, the former for "breast like teeth" and the later to point out high cellular fat or lipid content.
		Of course, for centuries we have known that breast and breast milk are lipid rich.
