This is a very unusual Mammoth fossil. It is a lower jaw from the Woolly Mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius. This specimen was found in the Rhine River, near Worms, Germany. The jaw has a complete tooth intact and tightly rooted in the jaw. This is a rare find - usually only loose teeth are found. Another unusual feature of this jaw is that the tooth is so well preserved! The tooth measures 6 inches from front to back, and the entire jaw section is seventeen inches long! The size of the jaw makes this fossil quite impressive. This is a great specimen of a rare European Mammoth jaw with tooth still embedded.
