Description from the seller

An authentic fragment of hair belonging to a Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), exceptionally preserved in the Siberian permafrost. This rare natural find represents an extraordinary testimony of the last great Ice Age, when vast tundra plains were inhabited by these majestic pachyderms, adapted to extreme cold thanks to their thick coat of brown, woolly hair. The specimen, presented in a gold frame with a red background that highlights its value and historical significance, clearly shows the typical coarse hairs of the Mammoth, long and resilient, which formed the outer layer of the fur. These hairs, often preserved thanks to permanent freezing, provide researchers with valuable information about the climate and environment of the Pleistocene, as well as insights into the biological evolution of one of the most iconic creatures of the Ice Age. Objects like this combine science, natural history, and collector’s fascination, representing an authentic fragment of a world lost over ten thousand years ago. Ideal for paleontological collections, museum exhibits, or as a curiosity cabinet piece, this relic evokes the power and fragility of geological time, offering a direct glimpse into a frozen past in the Siberian tundra.
