Exclusive Fossil Specimen - Woolly Mammoth - Fossil Femur Bone - - Fossil bone - Mammuthus Primigenius - 166 mm - 174 mm
Fossil bone fragment from the upper femur of a Woolly Mammoth, scientifically known as Mammuthus primigenius, a massive extinct proboscidean that lived during the Pleistocene. This geological period extended from approximately 2.6 million to about 11,700 years ago, characterized by numerous glaciations and significant climatic fluctuations.
The bone in question was found in Pleistocene sedimentary deposits, where fossil evidence of numerous extinct organisms has been preserved. The upper part of the femur of a Woolly Mammoth is a precious paleontological find, the bone has a brown color and shows good preservation and an excellent shape. The porous nature of the once organic bone can be seen on part of the massive specimen.
This fossilized bone fragment has been carefully prepared and mounted on a decorative wood and iron base to be elegantly displayed and to highlight its natural beauty. This presentation offers the opportunity to admire up close the majesty of an extinct animal that dominated the Pleistocene regions with its grandeur and its adaptation to the cold climate of the Ice Age.
This fossilized "upper femur head" bone fragment tells a story of evolutionary adaptations and survival in an often hostile environment. Scientific analysis of these paleontological relics contributes significantly to the understanding of the ecology and evolution of ancient woolly mammoths, providing insights into in-depth studies of the biology and extinction of this species.
