4.00" Fossil Woolly Mammoth Tooth – North Sea | Fossil Driven

These remarkable fossils originate from Doggerland, a now-submerged prehistoric landscape that once connected Europe during the last Ice Age and supported massive herds of mammoths and other megafauna. Woolly Mammoth teeth are instantly recognizable by their distinctive enamel plates (lamellae), which formed powerful grinding surfaces used to process tough Ice Age vegetation. Each specimen is completely unique, shaped by millions of years of fossilization beneath the North Sea.

Dating to the Pleistocene Epoch (approximately 11,000 to 400,000 years old), this tooth slice offers a stunning glimpse into the life of one of Earth’s most iconic megafauna. Every Fossil Driven specimen is 100% authentic, hand-selected, and accurately represented, giving collectors complete confidence.

Where This Fossil Comes From

This Woolly Mammoth tooth originates from the North Sea seabed off the coast of the Netherlands, part of a now-submerged Ice Age landscape known as Doggerland.

During the last Ice Age (the Pleistocene Epoch), global sea levels were dramatically lower, exposing a vast stretch of land that connected modern-day Britain to mainland Europe. This region wasn’t an ocean; it was a cold, open steppe-tundra environment that supported large populations of Woolly Mammoths, woolly rhinos, bison, horses, and reindeer.

Mammoths in this region used their massive molars, like the one you see here, to grind tough Ice Age vegetation such as grasses, sedges, and shrubs. Over time, as climates warmed and ice sheets melted, rising sea levels gradually flooded Doggerland, submerging this entire ecosystem beneath the North Sea roughly 8,000–10,000 years ago.

About the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius)

The Woolly Mammoth was a close relative of modern elephants that lived throughout northern Europe, Asia, and North America during the Ice Age. Adapted to cold climates, these massive herbivores were covered in thick fur and used large, ridged molars to process grasses, shrubs, and tundra plants.

Mammoth teeth were replaced multiple times throughout their lives, with each molar weighing several pounds. Fossil tooth slices represent cross-sections of these grinding surfaces and reveal the distinct enamel and dentin patterns that once powered the mammoth’s diet. Why Collect This Tooth:
