What is the difference, if any, between elders and priests in the LDS church?

Inspired by this other question which asks about how there are quite a few priests in the Mormon church.
In my case most (if not all) of the Mormons that I have met all had a lapel that identified them as an "elder" (which, according to this Wikipedia article seems to be a different position than "priest").
Also this other question seems to indicate that an LDS ward (congregation) can also have quite a few elders.
1. Is "elder" a separate official position from "priest" and if so, how
are they different?
2. Are these two positions mutually exclusive or can a person be
officially both?
