Large Tooth Found
Near Brazos Thought
To Be Of Mastodon
A study of the big tooth shown
in the News window revealed an
interesting story, as submitted by
Clarence Engelke, a geology ma-
jor in his senior year at the Un-
iversity of Houston. The speci-
men was found by Walter Jan-
ecek in the Brazos River area.
It is believed to be anywhere
from 35,000 to 50,000 years old.
The account, by Mr. Engelke
reads:
“The tooth is from an extinct
animal known as the Mastodon.
It resembles the modern ele-
phant but it differs in that the
mastodon tooth has knoblike pro-
minences on the chewing edge,
whereas the modern elephant
has a large flat grinding sur-
face for its chewing edge. The
mastodon existed mainly in
North America and some in
South America as evidenced by
the many skeletons found on
these continents.
In fact one of my geology class-
es at S. M. U. went out fe dig up
a skeleton, that had been partial-
ly exposed by soil erosion, about
15 miles northeast of Dallas. The
bones were too rotten to recover,
but one tusk was preserved, and
one tooth denoted it as being a
mastodon.
The mastodon became extinct
about the middle of the great
glacial periods that covered the
northern part of the U. S. and
almost all of Canada.
The mastodon also resembles
the mammoth which is also ex-
tinct at the present time, but is
considered to have lived later
than the mastodon.
The mammoth had a much
wider range in that they, have
been found in the Atlantic States,
Alaska, Siberia, Central Europe,
and fossils of this animal have
even been found in the British
Isles.
Five examples of the almost
perfectly preserved bodies of
this animal have been found in
the frozen gravels and ice along
the retreating ice glaciers in Si-
beria.
The meat was so well preserv-
ed that it could be fed to dogs,
and some of it was eaten by the
natives. This meat had been pre-
served in the ice for several
thousand years. The long hair-
ed furs were cured for preserva-
tion by the Geologist that found
them. The best specimen was
found in 1901.”
