- Lot Description
Northern Asia, Russia, Siberia, Pleistocene (Ice Age), ca. 400,000 to 10,000 years ago. A rare and highly aesthetic fossilized tusk from a woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) with a curved profile and a polished surface. This tusk is gorgeous and well preserved from the fossilization process, with a caramel brown and beige enamel with black striations making for some fantastic patterning! The slender width suggests this was possibly a female or maybe a juvenile male. Mammoths are one of the most memorable examples of Ice Age megafauna that most people will instantly recognize; their tusks are a special part of any prehistoric and fossil collection! Size: 43" L x 2.5" Diameter (109.2 cm x 6.4 cm); root to tip along curve: 58" L (147.3 cm)
