Tooth Replica (Woolly Mammoth)

Bring the Ice Age to life with this impressive Woolly Mammoth Tooth Replica! Measuring approximately 11 inches long, this detailed reproduction captures the distinctive ridges, textures, and natural coloration of a genuine woolly mammoth molar. The approximately 8-inch chewing surface features the closely spaced enamel plates that helped these prehistoric giants grind tough grasses and other vegetation.

Cast from a specimen recovered by fishermen in the North Sea, this replica features realistic dark brown and tan coloration, intricate surface details, and the characteristic flattened grinding ridges of a mammoth tooth. Its substantial size and lifelike appearance make it an excellent addition to a prehistoric collection, educational display, classroom, or natural history exhibit.

Woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) were enormous, elephant-like mammals that roamed the northern regions of Europe, Asia, and North America during the Ice Age. Although the mammoth lineage dates back millions of years, woolly mammoths evolved much more recently and survived in isolated populations until approximately 4,000 years ago.

These remarkable animals were adapted to cold environments, with thick fur, insulating fat, and enormous curved tusks. Male woolly mammoths typically had larger tusks than females, with some exceeding 11 feet in length. Their specialized molars contained numerous enamel ridges that formed broad grinding surfaces, allowing them to process coarse grasses and other tough vegetation.

Mammoths and modern elephants share a common ancestor, with mammoths being more closely related to Asian elephants than to African elephants. Mastodons belonged to a separate branch of the elephant family tree and had differently shaped teeth adapted to browsing on leaves and woody plants.

Whether you're a fossil enthusiast, educator, or collector of prehistoric replicas, this woolly mammoth tooth offers a fascinating look at the anatomy of one of the Ice Age's most iconic animals.
