Mammutidae

The Mammutidae are a family of extinct proboscideans that lived between the Miocene and the Pleistocene to 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 ὀδούς "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.
==Discoveries==

In August 2008, miners in Romania unearthed the skeleton of a 2.5-million-year-old mastodon, believed to be one of the best preserved in Europe.〔(2.5 million-year-old mastodon unearthed in Romania ), ''USA Today'', 2008-08-08, Retrieved on 11 August 2008〕 Ninety percent of the skeleton's bones were intact, with damage to the skull and tusks.〔 In 2009, a family in Portland, Michigan unearthed mastodon bones while excavating a new pond on their property. It is one of around 250 mastodons found in Michigan over the past century.
As of July 2009, six mastodon fossils were discovered in Elmacık village, in Burdur province, Turkey. Also, the first excavation to discover mastodon fossils in Elmacık village took place in 2006.
In August 2011, a skeleton of a mastodon was found near Tomislavgrad in Bosnia and Herzegovina.〔(U Tomislavgradu otkriven kostur pretka slona ), Večernji list, 2011-08-18. Retrieved 2011-08-26 〕 In November 2011, a mastodon skeleton was unearthed in Daytona Beach, FL during construction of a retention pond.〔http://www.news-journalonline.com/breakingnews/2011/11/mastodon-bones-found-at-daytona-beach-work-site.html〕 The find is being studied by the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences.
