“…The Alberta specimen referred to M. pacificus is the same tooth found to have a Pliocene divergence time from M. americanum based on mitochondrial genome data from a previous study, suggesting a deep divergence time between the two taxa. The apparent presence of both mastodon taxa in close geographic proximity has interesting paleobiogeographic implications. …”
