Description from the seller

Impressive pair of two fossil mammoth molars, from a Parisian collection. These remarkable specimens rest on a dark wooden decorative base (not fixed). NO EXPEDITION OUTSIDE EU,
First specimen:

Length: 21 cm
Height: 13 cm

Second specimen:

Length: 12 cm
Height: 12 cm
Width: 6.5 cm
Weight: 1,000 grams (approx)

These molars display the lamellar structure characteristic of mammoth teeth, with their distinctive parallel striations. Fossilization has given the specimens a beautiful amber hue, ranging from golden brown to pale beige, with darker areas that emphasize their mineralization.
The preservation is remarkable, allowing clear observation of the details of the fossilized dental structure. The enamel blades are well preserved and show the typical accordion pattern of mammoth molars.
Provenance: Private collection, Paris.
