New localities, chronology, and comparisons for the pygmy mammoth (
Mammuthus exilis): 1994-1998.
En raison des proprietes uniques de l'os cortical proboscidien (provenant probablement d'un mammouth laineux
Mammuthus primigenius ou, ce qui est moins probable, d'un mastodonte americain Mammut americanum), certains chercheurs ont avance une hypothese selon laquelle ees structures representent des modifications intentionnelles faites au marteau en pierre par des humains, a des fins d'extraction de la moelle et de production d'outils en os.

Mammuthus primigenius, Bison/Bos, Megaloceros giganteus, Cervus elaphus, Rangifer tarandus, Equus caballus przewalskii, and boreal mountain forest fauna of Ursus spelaeus subsp.
Mammuthus creticusis the first evidence for extreme island dwarfism in mammoths.
The Late Pleistocene and early Holocene fossil record of northeastern North America provides a relatively limited range of possible terrestrial mammalian candidates for the Manasquan specimen: mastodon (Mammut americanum); wooly mammoth (
Mammuthus primigenius); bears, particularly polar bear (Ursus maritimus); large periglacial bovids, especially musk oxen (Bootherium bombifrons; Ovibos moschata) and ice age bison (Bison latifrons); and larger periglacial cervids (caribou, elkmoose, and moose).

Notable occurrences include some of the earliest discoveries of the Columbian mammoth (
Mammuthus columbi) and American mastodon (Mammut americanum), one of the largest collections of the ground sloth Megalonyx jeffersonii, and the southernmost record of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus).
The woolly mammoth,
Mammuthus primigenius, was an impressive beast, standing 12ft tall, covered in thick, shaggy hair, and sporting an enormous pair of curled tusks.
It's the ancient and noble
