A polished and beautifully preserved cross-section of a mammoth tooth.
While humans have two sets of teeth that are replaced vertically (a new tooth growing in underneath the other), mammoths went through six sets of teeth, which were replaced horizontally, with a new pair of molars grows in behind the first pair.
While these photos are representative, the actual specimen you will receive may not match the photograph exactly.
