This is an excellent fossilized mammoth tusk. It is a tusk from the Wooly Mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius. This specimen is from the same area that was featured in the Discovery Channel special, "Raising the Mammoth". This tusk is from an adolescent, meaning the mammoth was not fully grown when it died. The tusk is complete down to the very tip, but the root has been removed for better display. It also has the "bark", or outer covering, still intact, thus the brown coloring. The tusk is solid, not hollow, meaning the value of the fossil ivory in the tusk is tremendous. This is a very desirable Mammoth tusk that displays beautifully (display stand is included for free).
