A mammoth tooth is one of nature’s most remarkable structures. A woolly mammoth carried only a few of these enormous grinding molars at once and replaced them through life in a slow conveyor-belt sequence, going through about six sets in total. Each tooth is a slab of tightly packed enamel ridges built to grind the tough grasses of the Ice Age steppe, and this specimen shows that structure clearly, along with the enamel and roots that mark a genuine, well-kept molar.
Because the woolly mammoth is extinct and not covered by CITES, mammoth fossils are legal to buy and own in most places, unlike elephant ivory. We describe every specimen honestly, confirm we can lawfully ship to your location, and send each one worldwide in secure, insured packaging.
