- Lot Description
Northeastern Asia, Russia, Siberia, Pleistocene (Ice Age), ca. 100,000 to 10,000 years ago. This is an impressive, fossilized tooth from a prehistoric woolly mammoth. The ridges of the crowns are exposed, protruding slightly from the rest of the molar, and exhibit a dark occlusal surface of black enamel that encloses the lighter brown dentine. The lengthy roots would have cemented this tooth into then lower mandible of the animal, and mammoths had 4 molars, which they would go through 6 times as they matured. Mammoth teeth are one of the most complex in the mammal family and can give a very detailed insight into an individual animal's health and age. The excellent preservation of this tooth and coloration makes this a perfect specimen for displaying and study! Size: 4.5" L x 2.5" W x 5.25" H (11.4 cm x 6.4 cm x 13.3 cm); 5.25" H (13.3 cm) on included custom stand.
