Woolly Mammoth Hair And Ivory. The hair from this 30,000 year old Woolly Mammoth comes from the only specimen available from about a dozen preserved Mammoth carcasses that have been found in the frozen permafrost of the Indi-girka Basin of Siberia. This specimen contains much more hair than is usually offered and has examples of the long reddish-brown hair that covered the Mammoth's body, as well as a clump of the soft tan colored inner hair. This rare Mammuthis primigenius hair specimen comes from the collection of Dr. Gennady Baryshnikov of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Leningrad, Russia. Also included on the 12 x 8 inch Riker mount is a 5.5 x 1.5 inch polished section of fossilized Mammoth ivory.
