Species: Mammuthus primigenius Origin: Siberia, Russia (area around Yakutsk) Age: Pleistocene (40,000 years old)
This is a beautiful specimen of the tip-half of a real mammoth tusk. Patterning of white, gold, brown, and black comes from the partial fossilization of the tusk. Based on the size, it had most likely belonged to a female mammoth.
Due to its "recent" age compared to most fossils, this tusk is not fully mineralized, and so has been professionally preserved with a stabilizing coat that will prevent any cracks or flaking. Includes a beautiful custom-made metal and wood stand for display.
