Descriptions of megaherbivore skeletons collected at the Montbrook Site (2015–2024)

MBJ numbers are assigned to individual plaster jackets in the field; contents of the jackets are not always completely known.
NISP = Number of Identified Specimens.

  • T numbers refer to individuals of Teleoceras sp.
  • M numbers to individuals of Mammut sp.
  • R numbers to individuals of Rhynchotherium sp.
  • An additional 16 Rhynchotherium skulls and palates from Montbrook lack clear association with a single mandible; these are assigned skeleton numbers SK1–SK16.
