The American Mastodon (Mastodon americanum) on a large plinth in one of the bays in the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum in London. The fossilised skeleton is seen from near face on, with the tusks of the animal curving up and above the viewer. The lighting in the bay causes shadows of the animal's ribcage to be cast onto the back wall and up onto the ribbed, arched ceiling of the bay. The colours of the bay comprise the brighly lit but muted yellows, greys and browns of the terracotta tiling and the black, grey and white of the mosaic floor tiling. A mother and her son are standing to the bottom right of the image, reading the sign for the display, with the Mastodon towering ominously above them.
