Restoration of a Pleistocene mastodon (above) and a Pleistocene Woolly mammoth (below). A tooth of each is shown with a hand for scale. The crowned tooth of the mastodon was suitable for diet of twigs, branches and cones, whereas the infolded structure of the mammoth tooth was more adapted to a grass diet (Zumberge 1958, p. 362).
