Mastodon Announce Marrow Deep Vinyl Pressed with Real Mastodon Fossils
The band limited the pressing to 170 copies and used a lottery sale after grinding fossilized mastodon teeth into dust for the records.
- Atlanta progressive metallers Mastodon unveiled 170 copies of 'Marrow Deep' pressed with real mastodon fossil dust, creating what may be the most distinctive vinyl variant in the history of the medium.
- Bassist Troy Sanders conceived the idea after the band received a bag of non-display-worthy mastodon teeth roughly 20 years ago, prompting years of wondering how to utilize the fossils.
- Loma Vista Recordings and Waxworks Records partnered with the University of Georgia geology department to grind the teeth into particles fine enough for pressing. Band members personally sprinkled the dust into each copy.
- Fans interested in purchasing must register for an exclusive draw via Loma Vista Recordings, with registration closing on Monday, October 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM. Records are priced at $150.
- 'Marrow Deep,' released in August, marks Mastodon's first full-length effort without guitarist Brent Hinds. The band is currently promoting the record on the 'Poisonous Weapons Tour' across the USA through October 24.
