#Elephant ancestors' teeth evolved in response to long term changes in diet and #climate in Africa https://phys.org/news/2023-08-elephant-ancestors-teeth-evolved-response.html
Fluctuating climate and dietary innovation drove ratcheted evolution of proboscidean dental traits https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-023-02151-4
"Some #proboscideans started to adapt to locally grass-rich environments in East #Africa first by changing their behavior and starting to feed more on #grasses. This happened much earlier than has been thought until now, about 23-11 million years ago"

#FossilAdventCalendar Day 1
We begin our journey north in #Ontario, #Canada 🇨🇦 with the #Welland #mastodon (Mammut americanum) unearthed close to #NiagaraFalls and exhibited in the #RoyalOntarioMuseum. Like all #proboscideans - the group of #mammals that also includes #elephants - #mastodons had #tusks, but one is missing from this individual. The fact that the socket for its left tusk is closed suggests that this was a birth defect rather than the result of injury or disease.
