These are all thought to be from the same anim al whose skeletal remains are graduaklly eroding from the cliff. Measurements are included in the Modes record for each specimen but the conclusions he draws state that: "The mesasurements of the mammoth molars definitely indicate 'Mammuthis trogontherii', but possibly quite an early member of that series (because the teeth do not seem very high crowned, but this could simply be because they are so heavi liy worn). The mesowear angle measurements indicate quite heavily grass-dominated diet for the Beeston mammoth teeth (more than 70 percent grass). I also calculated the body mass estimate based on measurements of the femur, and that is ca. 8 800 kg (which is much more than in modern elephants, and quite typical for early Middle Pleistocene Mammuthis trogontherii)."         Admin category importance : 1         Note part of skeleton group of the large 'Beeston Mammoth' Mammuthus trogontherii emerging from the cliff
