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 very well preserved! The tooth measures 6.5 inches from crown to root, and the entire jaw section is over seven inches long! The size of the tooth and jaw makes this fossil quite impressive. This is a great specimen of a rare European Mammoth jaw with tooth still embedded.
