EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the impressive jaw bone of Missourium theristrocaulodon, an extinct Proboscidean mammal discovered on the banks of the Pomme de Terre River in Missouri in 1840. Unearthed by Albert Koch, this enormous fossilized bone is a testament to the rich natural history of North America. Missourium theristrocaulodon, also known as Tetralophodon or Tetralophodon mosquitensis, is a member of the Elephantidae family, making it a distant relative of modern-day elephants. This Placental Mammal, belonging to the order Mammalia and the suborder Proboscidea, boasts a unique anatomy with a proboscis, or elongated snout, which was likely used for grasping vegetation. The jaw bone, with its intricately detailed teeth, offers a glimpse into the animal's diet and feeding habits. The large, conical teeth suggest that Missourium theristrocaulodon was a herbivore, feeding on tough vegetation, much like its modern-day relatives. This remarkable fossil, now a treasured exhibit in natural history museums, provides valuable insights into the evolution of mammals in North America during the Eocene epoch. The discovery of Missourium theristrocaulodon, along with other fossils found in the St. Louis Lagerstätte, has significantly contributed to our understanding of the diverse and fascinating world of ancient animals. The fossilized bone, with its intricate details and historical significance, stands as a reminder of the wonders that lie buried beneath the earth, waiting to be discovered and appreciated by future generations.
