The Young Mastodon Pipestone with Fossil Ivory and Lapis Lazuli 8" x 7" x 4" 2003
|
The Mastodon once roamed much of North America and
Eurasia. They became extinct about 30 000 years ago;
perhaps due to climate change and/or over-hunting by
prehistoric man. They were a little smaller than the
Mammoth; about the size of an elephant. Their tusks
gained curvature with age, but, were always much straiter
than a Mammoth's.
