🦴 MASTODON FOSSILS IN ZÁRATE REGION
🦣 In the fossil repository of the Regional Group for the Study of the Past, we have a unique material: remains of the proboscidean Notiomastodon platensis.
A relative of modern elephants, this animal was one of the largest megamammals to roam South America before its extinction 10,000 years ago.
The fossils were found in the ravines surrounding Puerto TZ.
🏛️ You can come and meet the Notiomastodon at Bolivar 882 "Casa del Niño", Zárate.
Hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
