Description

Mammoth Tusks

Woolly Mammoth Tusk
Mammuthus primigenius
Pleistocene
Alaska

This fossilized Woolly Mammoth Tusk is a bit more modest in size than some but has a nice curve to its sublime form and, most importantly, exhibits a phenomenal "brindle" pattern of bluish-green and rich, creamy coloration. The fossil is presented in a custom wooden display stand which maximizes its length with a primarily horizontal orientation showcasing the natural curvature of this most elegant specimen. The preservation of this tusk is excellent, and the combination of portability, color and pattern is really hard to resist. This is a fine example of a tusk of this size which are becoming harder and harder to find.
Overall Measurements: 24.00 x 23.00 x 5.50 inches (60.96 x 58.42 x 13.97 cm)

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