SVP is underway!

Oct 26, 2016

SVP is underway!The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in Salt Lake City is underway! I arrived last night with our poster and Max; Eric Scott also arrived last night and our other co-author Greg McDonald already lives here. There are 4 poster sessions at SVP, one each day, and as it happens ours is today, so I put our poster up early this morning. This afternoon I'll be standing with the poster to answer questions and get feedback.
If you look closely in the gray box at the bottom left of the poster, you'll see all of our experiment.com supporters listed in the Acknowledgments. Thanks everyone for making this possible!

Have a good time Alton. Too bad I couldn't be there to meet you in person.

Mastodons of Unusual Size: Exploring variation in American mastodon populations

Western Science Center

American mastodons lived all across North America during the Ice Age. Paleontologists long suspected that western mastodons differed in subtle ways from eastern ones, and our initial data suggest they may have been distinctive in size and tooth proportions. We plan to examine various museum collections to build a robust database of mastodon measurements, allowing us to document regional population differences and helping us understand ecosystem variation and animal dispersal during the Ice Age.
