SMP 12/1/07 | Physics (and Chemistry and Biology...) of Mastodons and Mammoths | Speaker: Daniel Fisher

Speaker: Daniel Fisher (Professor & Curator, Museum of Paleontology and Department of Geological Sciences, U-M)

New sites, right here in Michigan and in remote parts of Siberia, combine with new methods of analysis to yield a clearer picture of the anatomy, behavior, and extinction of mastodons and mammoths. Much of our new perspective comes from studies of tusks, the distinctive, ever-growing incisor teeth of elephants and their relatives.
