AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Impressive set of two fossil mammoth molars from a Parisian collection. These remarkable specimens rest on a decorative dark wood base (not fixed).
Premier specimen
Length: 21 cm
Height: 13 cm
Width: 9 cm
Weight: 1,900 grams (approx)
Second specimen
Length: 12 cm
Height: 12 cm
Width: 6.5 cm
Weight: 1,000 grams (approx)
These molars feature the characteristic lamellar structure of mammoth teeth, with their distinctive parallel striations. Fossilization has given the specimens a beautiful amber hue, ranging from golden brown to light beige, with darker areas highlighting their mineralization.
The preservation is remarkable, allowing for a clear observation of the details of the fossilized dental structure. The enamel blades are well preserved and show the typical accordion pattern of mammoth molars.
