- Lot Description
North America, Alaska, Late Pliocene epoch (Ice Age), ca. 35,000 to 10,000 years ago. Two fabulous fossilized tusk and a tooth fragments from a woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). The tusk has a creamy beige and mottled brown enamel with a gently curved profile that tapers towards the thick tip. The tusk has developed fissures and striations as a result of fossilization and still retains much of its original enamel on the exterior, while the interior has its layered structures well preserved and visible. The tooth is a section of a molar with the interior enamel cut and polished to a smooth surface to display the quartz (silica) and other minerals that formed in the molar from the fossilization process! Size of tusk: 17" L x 2.5" W x 2.25" H (43.2 cm x 6.4 cm x 5.7 cm); tooth: 5" L x 3" W x 3" H (12.7 cm x 7.6 cm x 7.6 cm)
Please note that fossilized ivory tusks from any species cannot be shipped to the US States of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington State.
Provenance: private Hagar collection, Wildwood, Missouri, USA
