This beautiful fossil molar is from a Southern Mammoth (Mammuthus meridionalis), from Hungary and is between eight hundred thousand and one million years old.
This amazing example shows wear from use and fossilization but the prisms (hard bluish enamel structures), dentine and cementum are in very good condition.
Molar is been stabilized.
Come with a nice elegant wooden stand.
Molar is 10 X 8 x 11 cm
Mammuthus meridionalis, or the southern mammoth, is an extinct species of mammoth endemic to Europe and central Asia from the Gelasian stage of the Early Pleistocene, living from 2.5–1.5 mya. With a height of about 4 m. (13 ft) and estimated weight of 8 to 10 tons, M. meridionalis is one of the largest proboscideans to have ever lived. Its molars had low crowns and a small number of thick enamel ridges, adapted to a woodland diet of leaves and shrubs. This indicates it lived on a relatively warm climate and probably lacked the dense fur of the more recent Woolly Mammoth.
