Lot Description:Mammoth Hair, Mammoth Tusk
Russia Holland. A mammoth is any species of the extinct genus Mammuthus. These proboscideans are members of Elephantidae, the family of elephants and mammoths, and close relatives of modern elephants. They were often equipped with long curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They lived from the Pliocene Epoch from around 4.8 million years ago, into the Holocene at about 4,500 years ago. Here is a woolly mammoths tusk measuring 14x30x34cms and also some packaged hair. -
