Description from the seller
A beautiful fossil femur of a woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), discovered in Siberia following the melting of the permafrost. This extraordinary specimen has been expertly mounted on a solid wood base with a brass support, enhancing its grandeur and allowing it to be displayed in museums, private collections, or cabinets of curiosities.
The fossil's surface, with its natural patina and earthy hues, preserves intact the signs of time and fossilization. Every morphological detail tells the story of a prehistoric giant that roamed the frozen steppes of Eurasia during the Pleistocene.
The woolly mammoth was adapted to harsh climates thanks to its thick fur, fat glands, and long, curved tusks. It became extinct around 4,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change, habitat loss, and pressure from prehistoric humans. The best-preserved remains come from the Arctic regions of Siberia, where the freezing temperatures ensured their extraordinary preservation.
