Some questions from the same exam
- Nothing is more exciting to a ....... than the discovery of animal bones from a previous era, in particular the awe-inspiring*^*excavation of skulls and tusks of mammoths.
- Such was the exhilaration when 58 Columbian mammoth remains were found in a sinkhole, about the size of a regulation*^*size basketball court, in 19 75. Scientists ....... that just as many or more were buried beneath the ground in the South*^*Dakota hills.
- Paleontologists speculate that a herd was attracted to the vegetated area, created from the ideal conditions of water from a*^*hot spring, ....... from a sinkhole. Tempted by the allure of abundant food and water, the mammoths fell into the cavernous*^*opening and were unable to get back up the slick walls.
- The revelation of this find also brought enthusiastic visitors to the site, resulting in the erection of The Mammoth Site*^*museum. Here tourists can view ....... skeletons beneath a roof, built to protect the site from natural elements, while*^*watching the continual excavation.
- Occasionally, a visitor will express astonishment at the find, associating mammoths and mastodons only with Siberia. In*^*fact, Columbian mammoths ....... from coast to coast in the U.S., Alaska, and in some parts of South America.*^*Paleontologists believe half as many mastodons may have roamed the same areas
- Some ....... "digs" go back as far as 1705, when a farmer, plowing his field, dug up a 5 pound tooth of an unknown species.*^*Slaves in South Carolina showed a similar tooth, and bones found in the cotton fields, to the owner of the plantation.
- Research since the late 1800's has disclosed both mammoths and mastodons wandered across the U.S. plains; hardly*^*anyone was able to make a distinction between the two ........
- However, European anatomists made charts to compare each ....... to determine the precise differences, beginning with a*^*comparison of teeth.
- They discovered that the teeth of mammoths and mastodons were remarkably similar, with both having irregular ....... on*^*the surfaces, much like grooved cardboard, while the teeth of mastodons had sharp conical-shaped cusps.
- Scientists concluded from this one study that because Mammoths were mainly found in grasslands, it was logical that the*^*teeth would have been flat for grinding grass. Mastodons, on the other hand, had sharp teeth and were ....... flesh-eaters.*^*
