Description from the seller

Exceptional natural history set consisting of 7 authentic fragments of Woolly Mammoth tusks (Mammuthus primigenius), an emblematic giant of the last glacial period of the Pleistocene.

These specimens come from the depths of the North Sea, collected during dredging and beautifully preserved for millennia.

Each piece in this lot has undergone careful conservation:

Complete and meticulous desalination.

Delicate cleaning highlighting the natural textures and the superb hues of the fossilized dentine (ranging from ivory cream to earthy brown).

Stabilization with Paraloid B-72, the museum and paleontological institutions’ reference polymer, ensuring absolute durability and protection of the fragments against humidity fluctuations.

This diverse lot features magnificent structures of fossil ivory. A superb collection ready to be displayed, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities or a collector.

Careful and fast shipment
