mammothhunter Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Does anyone know of a good article regarding how to identify the different members of the Proboscidea family? I can tell the difference between Mastodon, Wooly and Southern Mammoth and of course modern Elephant teeth, but beyond that, I am a bit stuck :/ Thanks ahead of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painshill Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Although published in 1936, Osborn's "Proboscidea" is still excellent. I downloaded a copy from somewhere a while ago but it's an 88MB pdf file and runs to over 800 pages, so too big to attach here. I don't recall where I downloaded it from but maybe another member can provide the original internet source. If not, send me your real email address by PM and I'll send you a copy.
