Two quick notes

First, you may have noticed that our deadline has been extended. Experiment.com decided to extend several projects that were close to their goals but hadn't quite reached them yet, so we still have a few days.

Second, a story by Brian Switek about Diamond Valley Lake fossils and the Western Science Center was just published on the KCET website. Enjoy!

About This Project

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.

Blast off!
