Mastodon - Fossil tooth - 3.7 cm - 6.5 cm

This remarkable fossil molar attributed to a mastodon (Proboscidea) constitutes a particularly interesting collectible piece, originating from Portugal and preserving a robust and visually striking morphology.

The tooth surface displays the rounded cusps typical of these ancient proboscideans, revealing millions of years of geological history. Fossilization has produced a very attractive combination of brown, ochre, and black tones, giving the piece a strong aesthetic presence and excellent display potential.

Clearly visible are the chewing structures and the natural wear zones resulting from the animal's use of the tooth in life, elements that enhance the scientific and collector interest of the specimen.

The piece has undergone old consolidation/gluing for stabilization, performed to preserve the fossil's integrity. This intervention is discreet and does not compromise the overall appreciation nor the display value of the piece, allowing it to be presented in a stable and safe manner.

It is a particularly decorative specimen, ideal for collectors of prehistoric large mammal fossils, cabinets of curiosities, paleontology collections, or display in a private museum setting.
