Woolly mammoth – fossil molar – 16 cm – 910 g

An impressive fossil molar of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), originating from the North Sea.

During the last ice age, a large part of the present-day North Sea was dry land and was part of the vast mammoth steppe. Mammoths lived here alongside woolly rhinoceroses, bison, and other large ice age mammals.

The molar beautifully displays the characteristic lamellae with which the mammoth ground its tough plant-based food. The warm brown-ochre mineralization and dark intermediate layers give this specimen a particularly distinct character.
