At an amazing price due to its natural damage, this Baby Woolly Mammoth tusk from Europe, will probably be the most affordable specimen of its kind you will ever encounter. The tusk is solid but sustained the damage before it was found, naturally in the environment. There are splits and part of the top of the tip is missing as is part of the bottom end. This tusk was found over 20 years ago and will not crack any further, fall apart or start to flake apart like most being offered on the market. It was not a recent find and is fully dry and completely stable.
Baby mammoth tusks this size, are RARELY found due to their fragile nature not being able to survive the elements of time. This one of the smallest specimen we have ever seen, from a Woolly Mammoth baby whose skull would not have been any larger than a watermelon. The photo below is of a skull that is that size and you can see the tusks are even larger than this tusk! 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 happens seldom in a lifetime of collecting - ESPECIALLY COMING FROM EUROPEAN DEPOSITS. Today, Woolly Mammoth fossil tusks you see for sale, come from Siberia (illegal), Alaska and Europe with Europe being the rarest source today.
NOTE: THIS IS THE SMALLEST AND LAST OF THE BABY WOOLLY MAMMOTH TUSKS WE HAVE FOR SALE.
WOOLLY MAMMOTH TUSKS are one of the most popular large display fossils of any collection.
