  • The CN Tower dominates the Toronto skyline in Ontario, Canada. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The 1,815-foot tower is illuminated by a recent multimillion-dollar lighting upgrade, and its nightly hues mirror the Canadian flag's colors of red and white. On Lake Ontario.

  • Mammoth skeleton. Side view of the largest mounted Mammuthus columbi skeleton in the world. It is housed at the University of Nebraska State Museum, USA. At upper left are giant up-curved tusks. This specimen is 4 meters in height. Mammuthus columbi (Columbian mammoth) was a giant elephant-like mammal, which roamed temperate parts of North America more than 10,000 years ago, when it became extinct. This species was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. These well-preserved bones of Mammuthus columbi were discovered in Lincoln County, Nebraska, in 1922, a site famous for its fossils. The skeleton was assembled in 1933. 1992.

  • Dan Ulmer and wife, two fossil merchants share their motel room with a variety of large fossils. On the table next to the bed is a leg bone from a dinosaur and the skull of a prehistoric rhinoceros-like animal (Brontotherium sp.). Brontotherium was a genus of mammals that lived in the Lower Oligocene period about 35 million years ago in what is now North America. This photo was taken during the Fossil Fair at Tucson, Arizona, where amateur and commercial fossil collectors gather to trade in the remains of prehistoric animals. Although frowned upon by many academics, amateur collectors frequently find remains of new fossil species or very fine examples of known species. MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • Bone of a mammoth. Paleontologist George Corner carries the fossil elbow (ulna) bone of a mammoth, Mammuthus columbi. Racks of mammoth jawbones and teeth can be seen in this room at the University of Nebraska State Museum, USA. Mammuthus columbi (Columbian mammoth) was an elephant-like mammal, which roamed temperate parts of North America more than 10,000 years ago, when it became extinct. This species stood 4 meters high, and was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. The bone was discovered in northwest Nebraska between mammoth fossil jaws. This State Museum houses the largest mounted Mammuthus columbi skeleton in the world. MODEL RELEASED (1992)

  • Fossil mammoth site. View of the largest collection of Columbian mammoth fossils (Mammuthus columbi) in the Western Hemisphere. Visitors receive a commentary while looking at excavated bones at the Hot Springs Mammoth Site in South Dakota, USA. Here, the fossilized skeletons of at least 43 mammoths lie, buried for 26,000 years. It is thought these animals became trapped in a large sinkhole when they came to drink water. Mammuthus columbi was a giant elephant-like mammal, some 4 meters in height, which roamed temperate parts of North America. It was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. This fossil site was discovered in 1974. 1992.
