🦌🦥🐴🐘🐪 For #FossilFriday — Megaloceros giganteus, the Irish elk, which I was able to visit in June. Specimen USNM 7051 is masterfully mounted at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. The mount features a massive steel armature to support its nearly 3.4–3.6 meter antler spread. Studies show Megaloceros dropped and regrew its antlers each year. . . #pleistocene #megalocerosgiganteus #paleontology #iceage #giantdeer #citizenscience Skull mount photos credit: NMNH/Loren Ybarrondo

Sharing a *real* mastodon on Mastodon (or selected replica parts thereof). These are shots from the Albert County Museum's new Hillsborough Mastodon display near where this 8-10 foot tall, 80,000 year old juvenile came to light back in 1936 #fossils #fossil #Mastodons #Pleistocene #paleontology #Palaeontology #museum #newbrunswick #Canada
