#FossilFriday visiting the Field Museum's fossil mammals. Here for (mostly) mastodons, but check out this beauty. Lovely twisted tusks of Cuvieronius hyodon from Bolivia.

Been on this app for a while, but haven't used it much. Let's get reacquainted! I mostly post about paleontology, ecology, and sassy streams of consciousness about mastodons, mammoths, et al. 🧪🦣🐘
