- Lot Description
North America, Southern United States, Florida, Pliocene to Pleistocene period, ca. 2.6 million to 10,000 years ago. A wonderful, fossilized tooth from the prehistoric Columbian mammoth, Mammuthus columbi. The ridges of the crowns are exposed, protruding slightly from the rest of the molar, and exhibit a white quartzite surface. This tooth demonstrates the grinding surface necessary for devouring the massive amounts of grasses the prairie environment provided for these mammoths. The Columbian mammoth could weigh up to 10 tons (22,000 lb or 9,979.03 kg) and was the largest of all mammoth species. They did not inhabit colder climates, like its woolly mammoth relative, and they lived as far south as modern-day Costa Rica. Size: 4.5" L x 2.25" W x 4" H (11.4 cm x 5.7 cm x 10.2 cm)
Provenance: private southwestern Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000
