NOTE:  THIS IS THE LAST OF THE COMPLETE MAMMOTH TUSKS WE HAVE FOR SALE.  WE WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING TUSKS DUE TO CHANGING LEGISLATION IN AMERICA.  WE CANNOT SHIP THIS TUSK TO NEW YORK OR NEW JERSEY AND NEXT YEAR, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP TO CALIFORNIA.  IF YOU EVER WANTED A MAMMOTH TUSK, THE TIME IS NOW AS SUPPLY WILL SOON BE ENDING ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.

In all our years of work in paleontology as well as cooperative work with numerous museums abroad, this is THE SMALLEST COMPLETE AND INTACT Woolly Mammoth tusk we have ever seen.  Sure, the matched pair of 11.5 foot tusks we have right now are extremely rare too but frankly, this tusk is more rare than a massive tusk.  Tusks this size of the Woolly Mammoth are RARELY found due to their fragile nature not being able to survive the elements of time.  This one of the smallest specimens we have ever seen, from a Woolly Mammoth baby whose skull would not have been any larger than a watermelon.  Finding medium size tusks from adults in European deposits are one thing but to locate a tusk from such a small baby mammoth like this, it is probably safe to say it might only happen once in a lifetime of collecting - ESPECIALLY COMING FROM EUROPEAN DEPOSITS.  This tusk is complete with the full back end displaying a cup-shaped cavity, a trait of a complete tusk base.  We have had small tusks in the past but never this size and never this quality - it is 100% INTACT, UNBROKEN has NO REPAIR OR RESTORATION.  Only a clear sealer has been put on the tusk to  strengthen its condition for safe handling and preserve its rare condition.  The color is a beautiful golden honey tone with contrasting dark brown natural surface grain.  Juvenile mammoth tusks are very rare but one like this is only the second one we have ever seen this complete from Europe.  An incredible piece and without question, THE BEST BABY CALF TUSK WE WILL EVER OFFER.

WOOLLY MAMMOTH TUSKS are one of the most popular large display fossils of any collection.  Even the casual observer recognizes this type of fossil and the value and appreciation of a COMPLETE fossil ivory tusk from the great Woolly Mammoth has garnered international appeal and awe.  The famous Wooly mammoth can be considered the mascot animal of the Earth's final Ice Age and this massive beast most certainly gained respect to all that got in its way including both Neanderthals and modern humans.    The lore of Cave Paintings and Neanderthal hunting parties are embodied in the magnificence and power of a genuine fossil mammoth tusk of Europe's final Ice Age where the Woolly Mammoth ruled the frozen tundra.
