Max’s Mobile Museum #M3 is out for the 2nd time in two days, this time at San Jacinto Elementary. We’re showing the differences between American & Pacific mastodons. The femur of Pacific mastodons (on the right) are visibly more robust than in American mastodons (on the left). #museum #FossilFriday #paleontology #scicomm #pleistocene #mastodons

I was preparing this mammoth femur from San Diego a year ago. It's relatively shorter than those of mastodons, and markedly different in shape.
