Woolly Mammoth Tusk Tip Mammuthus primigenius Pleistocene Alaska, USA...

Woolly Mammoth Tusk Tip Mammuthus primigenius Pleistocene Alaska, USA Over 18 inches (46 cm) on the curve, this thick tip of a Woolly Mammoth Tusk is rather impressive in its own right. This solid offering features expected concentric rings on the cut end and a rounded-off tip at the other. Lots of golden-brown hues cover the saturated fossil from end to end, with some filled black cracks and a graduated taper at the base. Presented on a custom burl wood cradle base, this tusk section rests in a horizontal orientation for a fine visual display. The partial tusk represents quite a lot of fossilized ivory and affords a great way to effectively own a tusk without needing a ton of display space.
