Woolly Mammoth Tusk Tip

Description: What a fascinating specimen! Imagine the thrill of holding this tusk tip in your hand. Notice the lovely colorful hues of the piece. The story of how these mammoth remains were collected is fascinating. Dutch fishermen dredge them up while trawling for fish in the open seas. Strong tidal currents scour the sea bottom and release these fossils from their sandy graves. The specimens are specially treated to preserve and enhance their strength. The tusk segments are left with a glossy feel and veneer.
