Measuring approximately 2.64 inches in length, this genuine fossil was discovered near Venice, Florida, one of the most productive fossil hunting regions in North America for Pleistocene-era remains.
The Columbian mammoth roamed vast stretches of North America over 10,000 years ago, including what is now Florida’s Gulf Coast. These massive herbivores used their large, flat molars to grind grasses, leaves, and other plant matter.
