Juvenile Woolly Mammoth Jaw with Teeth Mammuthus primigenius Pleistocene...

Juvenile Woolly Mammoth Jaw with Teeth Mammuthus primigenius Pleistocene Siberia, Russia This brownish chocolate-colored section of jawbone contains two juvenile Woolly Mammoth teeth in their original sockets. The adorable duo rests securely in the coated and stabilized material, representing the upper jaw of the elephantine creature. As juvenile fossils in general, are rarer than adult examples, this piece represents something both as uncommon as it is interesting. The context offered by this special specimen is a real added bonus, as seeing the Ice Age dentition in situ is so much more telling than just loose teeth. The Pleistocene assemblage of Mammuthus from Siberia, Russia, is one ideal display piece. Overall Measurements: 7.09 x 6.69 x 5.91 inches (18.00 x 17.00 x 15.00 cm) HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
