This is a genuine woolly mammoth tooth fossil, specimen #11, a real Ice Age molar recovered from Alaska with good preserved enamel and intact roots. It is a single, one-of-a-kind specimen with the dramatic ridged grinding surface that makes a true mammoth tooth instantly recognisable, and it is ready to display as a striking piece of the last Ice Age.
Specimen details:
- Type: Genuine woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) molar fossil
- Age: Pleistocene, Ice Age (tens of thousands of years old)
- Origin: Alaska, USA
- Size: approximately 8.3 inches long by 3.45 inches wide (about 21.1 cm by 8.8 cm)
- Condition: well-preserved, with good enamel and intact roots
What makes a mammoth tooth so remarkable is how it worked. A woolly mammoth carried only a few of these enormous grinding molars at once and replaced them through its life in a slow conveyor-belt sequence, moving through about six sets in total. Each tooth is built from tightly packed enamel ridges, a natural grinding surface for the tough grasses of the Ice Age steppe. On this specimen you can see those washboard ridges clearly, along with the preserved enamel and roots that mark a genuine, well-kept tooth.
Genuine mammoth teeth are becoming harder to find as collecting rules tighten, which makes a documented specimen like this one worth owning. 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.
