- Lot Description
Central Asia, Siberia, Yakutia and North America, Northwestern United States, Alaska, Pleistocene (Ice Age), ca. 1.8 million to 10,000 years ago; Eastern Europe, Romania, Carpathian Mountains, Pleistocene, ca. 1.8 million to 24,000 years ago. This is a great gathering of fossilized and well-preserved pieces from prehistoric animals: a cave bear tooth, a mammoth tooth, and a tuft of mammoth hair! The canine tooth is from Ursus spelaeus, with enamel in hues of creamy sienna and orange; the root is a lighter beige, white hue. The mammoth tooth slab is a fragment from a massive molar, the piece is a cut cross section that is polished on one planar face to reveal the inner layers. These inner structures are a beautiful mix of colors that are a result of quartzite (silica) and other minerals. The tuft of hair is from the body of a mammoth that was miraculously preserved in the frozen permafrost or ice! Size of mammoth tooth: 4.35" L x 2.5" W (11 cm x 6.4 cm); bear tooth: 1.75" L x 0.5" W (4.4 cm x 1.3 cm); case: 4.25" L x 3.5" W (10.8 cm x 8.9 cm)
