How many paleontologists does it take to move a ja How many paleontologists does it take to move a jaw? ⁠
⁠
This mastodon jawbone (Late Pleistocene) was collected by W. Clark (1807), owned by Thomas Jefferson and was exhibited by him in the White House; now it is part of the Academy's Vertebrate Paleontology Collection. ⁠
