The Mastodon Molar, dating from the Pleistocene Epoch (approximately 20,000 to 1.6 million years ago), is a fossilized tooth from an ancient relative of modern elephants, the mastodon. These molars, discovered in Florida, are characterized by their large size and distinct cusped surface, which was adapted to grinding tough vegetation like shrubs and trees. Mastodons roamed North America during the Ice Age, and their molars provide valuable insight into their diet and behavior. The Florida specimens offer important clues about the region’s prehistoric ecosystem, where these animals once thrived before eventually becoming extinct.
