This tooth is a genuine survivor of the last Ice Age, preserved in Alaskan ground for tens of thousands of years. Its broad grinding surface shows the mammoth’s remarkable dentition beautifully: a battery of packed enamel ridges that ground the tough steppe grasses, replaced through the animal’s life in a slow conveyor-belt sequence of about six sets. The deep-time presence of a well-preserved mammoth molar like this is what makes these fossils so collectible.
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.
