Mammuthus primigenius
Pleistocene
Alaska, USA

Polished to reveal its intricate structure, this impressive slice of a Woolly Mammoth Tooth carries an ancient, almost haunting beauty. The polished surface displays bold enamel bands in shades of tan and brown, laced with cool bluish silver highlights that shimmer like frost. Textured remnants of the outer surface frame the piece, a tactile reminder of the immense Ice Age creature from which it came. Measuring over 7 inches (17.5 cm) in length, this striking fossil embodies both the strength and the quiet mystery of life long vanished. This extraordinary specimen is a captivating relic from a world now buried beneath the ice.
