Description

Woolly Mammoth Juvenile Teeth in Jaw
Mammuthus primigenius
Pleistocene
North Sea

From the somewhat exotic location of the North Sea, which is actually rather well known for producing superb Mammoth fossils, including teeth and bones, comes this incredible, massive specimen. A nearly complete lower jaw section of the elephantine beast from the Ice Age, this mandible displays two teeth in situ as well as a pair of rare unerupted teeth still inside the jaw bone indicative of the juvenile variety of the colossal mammals. The sheer size of this fossil, coupled with the association of teeth and bone, is simply amazing. The large V-shaped piece displays a yellowish-brownish tan hue and is naturally artistic.
Overall Measurements: 25.00 x 22.00 x 13.00 inches (63.50 x 55.88 x 33.02 cm)


[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
