    Description

    Woolly Mammoth Tusk Tip
    Mammuthus primigenius
    Pleistocene
    Alaska, USA
    11.81 x 1.90 x 1.68 inches (30.00 x 4.83 x 4.27 cm)

    This sectional tusk tip from a Woolly Mammoth is nearly 12 inches (30.5 cm) long giving it immense size in addition to the obvious aesthetic charms. Much like a cuticle, the concentrically layered fossil exhibits numerous "skins" of various colors and patterns. This polished 'spear' is complex and highly decorative.

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