Description from the seller
Rare, natural tusk of a Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), North Sea
Description:
Bid now on this rare and beautiful piece of natural history: an authentic tusk from the extinct woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). This specific specimen is especially remarkable due to its unique, local origin from the North Sea.
Details of the object
Type: Woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius)
Origin: Dredged from the seabed of the North Sea, the Netherlands (possibly Maasvlakte or a comparable area).
Country: The object is in a beautiful, natural condition. It is not restored, but only professionally conserved.
Weight: 3154 grams
Dimensions: 56 cm measured along the outer curve.
Condition and preservation
The mammoth carcasses recovered from the North Sea have lain on the seabed for thousands of years. This specimen displays the natural patina and texture that are typical of such finds.
It is not restored (there are no large cracks glued or filled), but it has been professionally conserved. A conservation treatment protects the porous fossil material from further degradation caused by moisture or temperature fluctuations, thereby preserving its current condition.
A unique collectible
This is a fascinating fossil that brings the prehistoric ice age directly into your home. It is an ideal showpiece for collectors of fossils, natural history objects, or as a unique decorative element.
It is carefully packaged and shipped with insurance; any import duties or customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
