EDITORS COMMENTS
In this studio shot, the fossilized tooth and jawbone of the extinct dwarf elephant Palaeoloxodon cypriotes take center stage against a stark black background. This remarkable discovery, dating between 10,000 and 800,000 years old, was one of the first pieces of evidence that miniature elephants once inhabited the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The tooth, with its distinctive, well-worn surface, and the attached jawbone, displaying the intricate details of the mandible, offer a glimpse into the anatomy of this fascinating mammal. The dwarf elephant, a member of the Proboscidea order and the Elephantidae family, was a much smaller relative of the modern African and Asian elephants, standing only 2.5 meters tall at the shoulder. The discovery of this ancient treasure was made by Dorothea Bate, an intrepid female scientist who broke barriers as the first female employee at the Natural History Museum in London. Known as Dorothea Minola Alice Bate, she dedicated her life to the study of mammals, including this intriguing dwarf elephant. Her groundbreaking work in the field of paleontology has left a lasting impact on our understanding of the rich history of the animal kingdom. This image serves as a testament to the wonders of the natural world and the importance of scientific exploration. The tooth and jawbone of the dwarf elephant, with their intricate details, stand as a reminder of the diverse and ever-evolving world that existed long before us. This historical relic, a true treasure, continues to captivate and inspire researchers and enthusiasts alike.
