AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fragment of fossil bone from the upper part of the femur of a Woolly Mammoth, scientifically known as Mammuthus primigenius, an imposing extinct proboscidean that lived during the Pleistocene. This geological period extended approximately from 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 a Woolly Mammoth's femur is a valuable paleontological find; the bone has a brown coloration, 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 fragment of fossilized bone has been carefully prepared and mounted on a decorative wooden and iron base to be displayed with elegance and to highlight its natural beauty. This presentation offers the opportunity to closely admire the majesty of an extinct animal that dominated the Pleistocene regions with its grandeur and adaptation to the cold climate of the ice age.
This fragment of bone, 'upper head of the Femur,' fossilized, tells a story of evolutionary adaptations and survival in a often hostile environment. The scientific analysis of these paleontological relics significantly contributes to understanding the ecology and evolution of the ancient Woolly Mammoth, offering insights for in-depth studies on the biology and extinction of this species.
