Creamy tones contrast beautifully with the natural blue-gray lines that run through the specimen, highlighting the unique mineralization that occurred over thousands of years. Carefully finished to bring out the internal detail, this fossil offers a tactile glimpse into the anatomy of one of the Ice Age's most iconic megafauna. Sourced from Pleistocene deposits, this serves as both a scientifically significant artifact and a visually striking conversation piece.
