AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hereby offered: an extremely unique and authentic tuft of fossil hair from the legendary Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius).
This prehistoric material dates from the Late Pleistocene (approximately 15,000 to 40,000 years old) and comes from the icy permafrost of Yakutia in Siberia (Russia).
A rare and tangible fragment from the last Ice Age.
The structure of the hairs has remained fantastically well-preserved thanks to the millennia-long deep freeze in the Arctic soil.
Visible are the typical, thick and stiff outer hairs (the so-called 'guard hairs') that protected the mammoth against the icy wind and snow on the prehistoric steppes.
This extremely delicate organic material has been exclusively preserved thanks to the exceptional conditions of the permanently frozen ground, making it a very special collectible.
