Exclusive Fossil Specimen - Woolly Mammoth - Fossil Femur Bone - - Fossil bone - Mammuthus Primigenius - 166 mm - 174 mm

Frammento di osso fossile della parte superiore del femore di un Mammut lanoso, scientificamente noto come Mammuthus primigenius, un imponente proboscidato estinto che visse durante il Pleistocene. Questo periodo geologico si estese approssimativamente da 2,6 milioni a circa 11.700 anni fa, caratterizzato da numerose glaciazioni e fluttuazioni climatiche significative. L'osso in questione è stato rinvenuto in depositi sedimentari del Pleistocene, dove sono state conservate le testimonianze fossili di numerosi organismi estinti. La parte superiore del femore di un Mammut lanoso è un reperto paleontologico prezioso, l' osso presenta una colorazione marrone e mostra una buona conservazione ed un'ottima forma. La natura porosa dell'osso un tempo organico può essere vista su parte del massiccio esemplare. Questo frammento di osso fossilizzato è stato accuratamente preparato e montato su una base decorativa in legno e ferro per essere esposto con eleganza e mettere in risalto la sua bellezza naturale. Questa presentazione offre l'opportunità di ammirare da vicino la maestosità di un animale estinto che dominava le regioni del Pleistocene con la sua imponenza e il suo adattamento al clima freddo dell'epoca glaciale. Questo frammento di osso " testa superiore del Femore" fossilizzato racconta una storia di adattamenti evolutivi e di sopravvivenza in un ambiente spesso ostile. L'analisi scientifica di queste reliquie paleontologiche contribuisce in modo significativo alla comprensione dell'ecologia e dell'evoluzione degli antichi Mammut lanosi, offrendo spunti per studi approfonditi sulla biologia e l'estinzione di questa specie.

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.
