Complete Mammoth Tooth With Roots, In A Partial Mandible. This complete, near perfect mammoth tooth is 7 x 5½ in. and is still set in a portion of the lower jaw (mandible). Woolly mammoths roamed over the northern hemisphere and became extinct less than 20,000 years ago. This spectacular tooth, with its roots intact and exposed in the inner jaw, is more than 80,000 years old. It was found in a rare area for fossils: San Fluss, Poland. The appealing brown bone is in near perfect condition, showing even the minute internal structure. The back of the mandible has been cut away to reveal the detail of the complete roots. This is a museum-quality specimen.
Estimated Value $500 - 850.
