AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Mammuthus primigenius (Blumenbach, 1799) - Woolly Mammoth - Molar Tooth
Location: Southeastern Poland
Geological Formation: Unearthed in the late Pleistocene outcrops of Southeastern Poland
Age: Late Pleistocene, Quaternary period (~40.000 Years Old)
Size: 12,5x10x8,5cm
Ref: S290
Observations: Nice huge molar tooth belonging to the famous and enormous Ice Age Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). Completely natural, without restorations or repairs. Only a colorless professional stabilizer called Paraloid B72 has been applied to ensure its proper preservation. These types of teeth, have been exposed to extremely high humidity levels for thousands of years or even frozen in the permafrost. When they are unearthed, the moisture within their structure begins to evaporate, and they dehydrate rapidly, leading to fracturing and rapid degradation of the fossil. For this reason, it is important to apply this stabilizer professionally in the lab for proper paleontological protection.
Observations: Highly developed feeding wear. Nice collector piece.
The teeth/molars of mammoths are among the most complex of any mammal. They are composed of plates of dentine surrounded by enamel. A series of these plates (crown) held together by dentine makes up a tooth. The number of plates in each tooth is determined by species and the age of the tooth. At the base of the tooth, the root held the tooth in place.
