Lot 1653
Woolly Mammoth Tooth. Woolly Mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) had the largest individual teeth of any animal that ever lived. Mammoths had six pairs of molars in both their upper and lower jaws during their lifetime. Each new molar would be larger than the preceding one and this large 9 inch long, 3.5 inches wide and 5.75 inches deep, well preserved molar was one of the molars of an adult Mammoth. The flat part of the tooth has attractive pearl and black enamel alternating with a dark brown dentine and a large 5 inch dark brown root that is virtually complete with very smooth surfaces. These Mammoth teeth come from the North Sea where they are dredged up in fishing nets and are between 30,000-75,000 years old. The quality of this complete tooth is far above average as most teeth recovered are broken or badly chipped. Comes with a plastic stand for display.
