- Lot Description
North America, Alaska, Late Pleistocene epoch (Ice Age), ca. 35,000 to 20,000 years ago. The tusk of a juvenile mammoth, beautifully fossilized, mostly creamy white with dark brown streaks. The exterior of this tusk is polished, while the interior has its structures well preserved and visible around the root. The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is the most iconic species of the Ice Age, and early humans stalked and hunted these mammals across a landscape that was very different from ours today. ( Size: 20.5" L (52.1 cm)
This mammoth lived deep within the Pleistocene, when the northern hemisphere was dominated by massive ice sheets drained by enormous glacial rivers and lakes. Imagine encountering an adult version of this animal on an Ice Age steppe, towering up to 13 feet at the shoulder and weighing up to 12 tons, with its tusks rising in an upward curve from their jaw. Imagine the strength the animal's neck must have had just to hold up these massive teeth!
Please note that fossilized ivory tusks from any species cannot be shipped to the US States of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington State.
