Huge Mammoth Tooth. This complete massive dark brown Mammoth tooth is 13 inches long 4 inches wide with a 9 inch root. This is one of the largest Mammoth teeth ever offered for sale undoubtedly from an old mature Mammoth. This huge tooth is 30,000-50,000 years old from Siberia where the best preserved Mammoths have been found. The flat surface of Mammoth teeth was used to grind coarse vegetation. The alternating rows of raised dark brown hard enamel and brown recessed softer dentine are clearly visible. The only negative on the tooth is that parts of the root were broken in shipping and have been glued back together making it complete. Some of the glue still shows on the bottom of the tooth. It is not perfect but it is massive and impressive. Estimated Value $500 - 700
