Charles Willson Peale ( April 15, 1741 – February 22, 1827) was an American painter, soldier and naturalist This mastodon was on display for many years in Peale's Museum and is currently on display in Darmstadt, Germany[1] This mastodon is the first complete example found in the United States, and may be only the second fossil animal ever mounted for display.
