Lot 856
Pair of Complete Mammoth Teeth With Roots and Parts of Lower Jaw Still Attached. These complete, near perfect Mammoth teeth are still set in a portion of the lower jaw (one on each side). Each tooth measures 7" long x 5½" high and belonged to a juvenile Mammoth. Juvenile Mammoths only had one tooth on each side of their upper and lower jaws. As they matured, a second, smaller replacement tooth began to grow from the back of the jaw. Wooly Mammoths roamed over the northern hemisphere, becoming extinct less than 20,000 years ago. These spectacular dark brown teeth even have their roots intact and exposed in the back side of the jaw. They are over 80,000 years old, from San Fluss, Poland, a rare area for fossils. One can see even minute bone structure and enamel in the flat surfaces of these museum-quality teeth. Add $35 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,750.
