We periodically encounter Woolly Mammoth jaws that are complete which come from adult mammoths but this is the first example we have offered that is complete coming from a juvenile.  In the past, we have had juvenile halves of mandibles but never a complete full specimen.  What's more is that this amazing example has FOUR molars, the mains and a pair emerging from the back.  The chewing surfaces are PERFECT and even show interesting cusp and friction wear on their surfaces.  Bone loss on the underside is actually a bonus in that it looks like a medical model, exposing the classic root structures of lower jaw teeth.  This feature alone, makes this piece an absolute ideal candidate for exhibition or teaching. 

There is only a single fracture repair to the symphasis.  The molars are original and the entire piece is with NO FABRICATION OR RESTORATION.  Only a clear sealer has been applied to  protect its condition for safe handling and preserve its rare state.  FAR RARER THAN AN ADULT MANDIBLE!  From Central Europe!!!

WOOLLY MAMMOTH fossils are one of the most popular large display fossils of any collection.  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.
