Woolly Mammoth Tusk - 39.5”

This 39.5” long mammoth tusk with striking colouration was found in Southwest Siberia, Russia. Preserved in the permafrost, it belonged to a woolly mammoth that inhabited the northern tundra more than 20,000 years ago, during the late Pleistocene epoch. This show-stopping specimen is fitting for a major natural history institution, luxury home or corporate setting. An elegant oak stand highlights its beautiful shape and curvature. All Fossil Realm mammoth tusks have been professionally stabilized; however, these specimens must be kept in an indoor environment with stable humidity and temperature. Ideal conditions are 50% to 60% humidity and 68 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Fossil mammoth ivory can be distinguished from present-day elephant ivory by the angle of crosshatching (Schreger lines) and can be traded internationally. A custom-made stained solid oak stand showcases this Ice Age treasure’s beautiful curvature. Please contact us to arrange a shipping quote. We ship worldwide with DHL Express Air.
