Item Details
Description
LARGE MAMMOTH TUSK
Mammuthus primigenius
Pleistocene
Alaska
This is a spectacular example of an Ice Age mammoth tusk, with a massive 17 3/8 inch girth and fine curving shape, the rich creamy ivory attractively streaked and crazed with earthy shades of black and brown from vegetal mineralization as it lay buried beneath the tundra. It boasts a particularly fine root section, displaying the lamellar growth structure within, and neat restoration to the tip, as is usual. Presented on a stained oak display stand with brass plaque, it measures 93 1/4 inches long around the curve and weighs in at a hefty 37kg.
