Woolly Mammoth Tooth - Orange 2.5"

This 2.5" woolly mammoth tooth boasts a vibrant orange coloration, adding to its unique appearance.

The beautiful hues of tan, brown and blue are a result of thousands of years of mineralization. Exact coloration depends upon the mineral deposits in the immediate soil surrounding the fallen mammoth. Thus, when processing, each bone or molar reveals a unique character that can never be duplicated in another piece. The woolly mammoths were herbivores and used their teeth to grind grasses, tree matter, and other vegetation. Mammoths had only four molars; two on the upper jaw and two on the lower. As each set of teeth became worn down with use, they were replaced by a new set. Up to six sets in a lifetime.
