Mastodon<\/a> are to release a very limited edition 2LP vinyl version of their latest album Marrow Deep<\/a> \u2013 with fragments of actual mastodon fossil pressed into the records.<\/p>\n

Only 170 of the double vinyl ‘Bone Dust Edition’ of Marrow Deep are being made available, due to the “finite quantity of bone dust available.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fans are required to enter a raffle through Loma Vista Recordings<\/a> for a chance to purchase one of the sets at a cost of $150.<\/p>\n

The band say: “About 20 years ago, we were given a giant bag of mastodon teeth. Not display-worthy fossils, but a collection of teeth that left us wondering what to do with them.<\/p>\n

“Troy eventually had the wild idea to turn them into powder and press them directly into a vinyl record. Huge thanks to Loma Vista Recordings for connecting us with Waxworks to make this dream a reality.”<\/p>\n

The Bone Dust package also includes a certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n

Sanders adds: “How cool is it to juxtapose something with 11,000 year old fossils with a modern 2026 Mastodon record?”<\/p>\n

The process of sprinkling the fossil dust into the vinyl wax before pressing was assisted by a geologist from the University of Georgia. A video detailing the work can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Marrow Deep was released in August, following the departure and subsequent death of founding guitarist Brent Hinds.<\/a><\/p>\n

Metal Hammer’s review of the record describes it as the band having “snatched joy from the jaws of heartbreak.”<\/p>\n
