Woolly Mammoth Tusk - 69"

This 9’ long mammoth tusk with striking colouration was found in Southwest Siberia. Preserved in the permafrost, it belonged to an imposing male 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. 

Given its completeness, high ivory grade, size (29 lbs.) and gorgeous colouration, this tusk is undeniably incredible.  

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.
