has gloss | eng: Mammutidae is a family of extinct proboscideans that lived between the Miocene to the Pleistocene or Holocene. The family was first described in 1922, classifying fossil specimens of the type genus Mammut(mastodons), and has since been placed in various arrangements of the order. The name mastodon derives from Greek, μαστός "nipple" and οδούς "tooth", as with the genus, to indicate a characteristic that distinguishes them from allied families. The genus Zygolophodon has also been assigned to this family. |
