Where This Fossil Comes From
This specimen was recovered from the Venice, Florida, fossil region, a world-renowned area famous for producing Ice Age fossils alongside shark teeth and other marine life. During periods of lower sea levels, mammoths roamed what is now Florida’s coastline. Their remains were later buried and preserved within coastal sediments.
Venice-area deposits continue to yield well-preserved mammoth fossils that provide valuable insight into Florida’s Ice Age ecosystems.
About the Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi)
The Columbian Mammoth was a close relative of the Woolly Mammoth but adapted to warmer climates across much of the southern United States. Standing over 13 feet tall and weighing up to 10 tons, these massive herbivores dominated Ice Age landscapes.
Their large, ridged molars were designed to process fibrous grasses, bark, and vegetation. Throughout their lives, mammoths replaced their molars multiple times as they wore down. Fossil tooth slices represent cross-sections of these grinding surfaces and reveal the distinctive enamel and dentin banding unique to mammoth teeth.
