This is a BEAUTIFUL Fossil Molar from the American Mastodon (Mammut americanum) from the Pleistocene of Florida!

The American Mastodon is a close relative of elephants and Mammoths that first appeared 8 million years ago and went extinct at the end of the Ice Age. Although often confused with Mammoths, Mastodons were shorter, stockier, had straighter tusks, and flatter heads. This specimen is the Pleistocene of Florida, 1 million to 12 thousand years old. A absolutely stunning piece from an iconic Ice Age Mammal! All my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity! Thank you for reading please contact me with any questions. Have a wonderful day!
