GIGANTIC ELEPHANT WITH
LOWER JAW LIKE SPADE IS
SOUGHT ON MONG ALIA TRIP
-^ gj—.. Vv Jf m»tl liWiitftr^tm.;* *•**■ I «4iv»fc/Xnfry Ti rad* rmt ■ +x*t*-vS
This giant creature of the Pliocene age. named the shovel-
tusker made good use of its sp ndc-lihr jaw i.t digging up bulb-
ous plants. Pr. Rov Chapman A ndrrws unearthed a fossil of this
type last summer in Mongolia a nd will search for another.
NEW YORK Mar. 1.— T — A gi-‘
gantic elephant th3t had a lower
jaw like a spade is cne of the fos-
sils for which the Roy Chapman
Andrews expedition will search in
Mongolia this season.
This jaw stuck out several feet
beyond the mouth and ended at
its outer tip in gigantic flat teeth.
Though the structure outwardly re-
sembled a pair of lower tusks so
much that the animal was dubbed
a shovel-tusker studies at the
American Museum cf Natural His-
tory indicate that it actually was
a jaw. Describing the one discov-
ered last summer by Dr. Andrews
Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn presi-
dent of the museum says:
“They exposed what proved to be
a complete lower jaw eight feet
in length very slender in the mid-
dle portion. and expanding in
front to the most astounding pair
of lower teeth 14 inches in breadth.
The two lower teeth are closely
pressed together in the middle line
broadened and flattened at the
sides so that together they exceed
the dimensions of the typical
Irishman's shovel. In place of the
shovel handle is the long relative-
ly slender lower jaw. by which the
shovel tusks were pushed into the
sand or more probably used to up-
root nutritious tubers.”
Dr. Andrews says of the discov-
ery :
“No one in our party had dream-
ed of finding such an animal.
Long experience in search for
these prehistoric types does nof.
strange as it may seem prepare one
to forecast what new forms may be
discovered. From what we know
now it seems probable that this
mastedon used his trunk to push
the food back along the lower jaw
into his mouth.”
The Mongolian shovel-tusker
was found in earth of the Pliocene
age. which ended a million and a
half years ago. A smaller masto-
don of this type was discovered
befor° the Andrews find bv Prof.
Erwin IT. Barbour in western
Nebraska.
