English: Mounted male (left) and female
Mammut americanum skeletons at the new (2019)
University of Michigan Museum of Natural History, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The male specimen is a cast of the skeleton of the Buesching mastodon (named after its discoverer) that was excavated from a peat bog near Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is thought (based on an unhealed puncture wound on the right side of its skull) to have been killed by a thrust of the tusk of a rival male.
[1] The female was recovered near Owosso, Michigan. Both sets of fossils date to about 11,000 years ago. The male skeleton is mounted over a replica of a mastodon trackway found at the Brennan mastodon site near Saline, Michigan.
