NEW YORK, Mar. 1924 gil
gantic elephant that mad a lower
Jaw like q spade is one Of the foS-
sis for which the Roy Chapman
Andrews expedition will search in
Mongolia this season.
This jaw stuck out several feet
beyond the mouth, and ended at
its outer tip. in gigantic, flat teeth.
Though the structure outWarQly re-
semb.ed a pair Of lever tusks so
much that the animal was dubbed
a shoVel-tusker, studies at the
American Museum CO Natural His
tory indicate that it actually was
a jaw. Describing the one discov-
cred last summer by DR.. Andrews,
Dr.. Henry Fairfield Osborn, presi-
dent Of the museum. says:
They exposed what proved to be
a complete lower jaw, eight feet
in length, very slender in the mid
ole portion. and expanding in
front TO the most astounding pair
Of lower teeth Il inches in breadth.
The two lower teeth are closely
pressed together in the middle line.
broadened and flattened at the
sides, SO that together they exceed
the dimensions Of the typical
Irishman's shovel. In place Of the
shovel handle is the long, relative
~ slender lower jaw. by which the
shovel tuSkS were pushed into the
sand, or more probably used to up
root nutritious tubcrs."
DR.. Andrews says Of the discov-
cry:
mo one in our party had dream
ed OF finding such an animal.
Long experience in scasch for
these prehistoric types does not,
strange as it may seem. prepare one
to forecast what new forms may be
discovered. From what we know
now it seems probable that this
mastedOn used his trunk 70 push
the food bark along the lower Jaw
into his mouth"
The Monaghan Shovel-tu5ker
was found in earth OF the PliOcenc
age. which ended a million end 2
half years ago. A smaller masto-
don of this type was discovered
before the Andrews find by Prof.
Erwin H.. Barbour, in western
