Welcome back to another #FossilFriday

Here is the molar from an American Mastodon (Mammut americanum). This comes from Pleistocene deposits in San Jacinto County, Texas. Mastodons used their bumpy molars for grinding up twigs, leaf matter, and other shrubs.

Aunt calling to aunt, like mastodons across the primeval swamp

I think when Mastodons disappear we call it extinction

10k+ follower accounts plugging their mastodons is a recession indicator

As far as I’m concerned, mastodons had their chance 11,000 years ago and I don’t trust them to last this time either.

That guy standing in front of the 7-Eleven’s got a beard that looks like it has slain at least 12 mastodons

There was a guy at the $3 taco place last night who had a beard that looked like it had slain at least 12 mastodons

Props to the guy who was so anti-extinction he proposed that mammoths and mastodons shrank into shews in maturity rather than admit they were ded

I'm not going to bust him for that. Mastodons do look a lot like relevants.

Mastodons often get confused with Mammoths, but there are a few ways to tell them apart.

Mastodons had pointed teeth for crushing, while Mammoths had flat teeth for grinding grass.

Mastodons tusks were straighter, while Mammoths tusks were curved.

Mastodons were also shorter and stockier.

I'm starting a metal band, the guitarist is a literal volcano, the drummer is a herd of long-thought-extict mastodons, and the singer is a sentient and deeply cursed Aztec death whistle. The bassist is my dad's friend jeff.

"We were hoping things would work out normally, that perhaps some kind of bargain could be reached with the frothing mastodons, but starving as they seem to be for human flesh, we must reluctantly conclude that this approach has failed."

You know, since we ate all of the mastodons that implies they had to be pretty good tbh

When the Earth Was Green has something for everyone. Humid coal swamps full of immense arthropods. Hungry, hungry dinosaurs. Sabercats rolling in catnip. Prehistoric bats sipping from flowers. Early monkeys rafting across the sea. Tooting mastodons. And so much more. 🌱

There were mastodons living on earth when the pyramids were built.

More like two mastodons bellowing at each other from across a primeval swamp

Can we please just all agree that BlueSky is the default new twitter now because if I have to set up any more social media accounts I will explode into a cloud of mastodons
