A nice cross-section of a Woolly Mammoth tusk from the thawing Siberian Permafrost. It displays striking natural turquoise veining caused by rare vivianite mineralisation. As with all Siberian tusks, it has been stabilised. It has also been polished to highlight the crisp concentric growth rings.

The Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is the iconic giant of the Pleistocene epoch, perfectly adapted to the harsh, frozen expanses of the ancient tundra-steppe. Navigating the cold northern latitudes alongside steppe bison and woolly rhinos, these massive herbivores used their colossal, curved tusks for foraging through deep snow, social display, and defense against apex predators like cave lions.

This piece comes with a simple display stand and a small card featuring the specimen name, origin and age.

This is genuine fossil. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.

Condition: Very Good | Widest Diameter: 3.75 inch | Age: 20,000 years | Found: Siberian Permafrost, Russia
