Fossil Mammoth Tooth Slice – 2.31" – Siberia – Mammuthus primigenius
This authentic fossil mammoth tooth slice comes from the extinct woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), and was unearthed in the frozen permafrost of Siberia, Russia. Estimated to be between 11,000 and 400,000 years old, this Ice Age relic has been expertly cut and polished to reveal the natural enamel and dentin banding that defines mammoth molars.
Measuring 2.31 inches long, this prehistoric fossil is ideal for collectors, educational displays, or custom lapidary work. Its intricate patterns and earthy tones offer a stunning glimpse into the life of one of the Pleistocene’s most iconic megafauna.

About the Woolly Mammoth and Fossil Woolly Mammoth Tooth Slices
The Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was one of the most iconic megafauna of the Ice Age — a distant relative of today’s elephants that roamed the cold, windswept tundras of Europe, Asia, and North America. Covered in thick fur and sporting long, spiraled tusks, the Woolly Mammoth lived during the Late Pleistocene epoch (roughly 400,000 to 4,000 years ago) and was specially adapted to survive glacial climates.
One of the most remarkable parts of the mammoth’s anatomy was its teeth. Unlike carnivores with pointed teeth, mammoths had large, flat, ridged molars built for grinding down coarse grasses, twigs, and tundra vegetation. These massive teeth could weigh several pounds and were replaced in a conveyor-belt system up to six times during the mammoth’s lifetime.
What remains today are beautifully fossilized Woolly Mammoth tooth slices, cross-sections of the original grinding surfaces that reveal the distinct enamel ridges and dentin layers that once processed hundreds of pounds of vegetation. These authentic fossil tooth slices are not only scientifically fascinating — they’re also visually stunning, often featuring intricate patterns and earthy tones in shades of cream, brown, gray, and black depending on the mineral content of the fossil site.
Where Are Mammoth Tooth Fossils Found?
Woolly Mammoth fossils are typically discovered in permafrost zones or ancient riverbeds where bones and teeth were buried and preserved. Some of the most well-known locations for finding mammoth teeth include:
- Siberia (Russia)
- Alaska and the Yukon
- Midwestern United States (Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska)
- Europe (United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands)
Tooth slices from these regions often reflect unique mineralization patterns that give each piece a one-of-a-kind appearance.
