WOOLLY MAMMOTH

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), also called the tundra mammoth, is an extinct species of mammoth. This animal is known from bones and frozen carcasses from northern North America and northern Eurasia with the best preserved carcasses in Siberia.

This mammoth species was first recorded in (possibly 150,000 years old) deposits of the second last glaciation in Eurasia. They were derived from steppe mammoths (Mammuthus trogontherii).

It disappeared from most of its range at the end of the Pleistocene, with a dwarfed race still living on Wrangel Island until roughly 1700 B.C.

SIBERIAN WOOLLY MAMMOTH
RARE! (Mammuthus primigenius)

Age: Late Pleistocene, 150,000 to 10,000 years.

This animal is known from bones and frozen carcasses from northern North America and northern Eurasia with the best preserved carcasses in Siberia. They are perhaps the most well known species of mammoth.

This mammoth species was first recorded in (possibly 150,000 years old) deposits of the 2nd last glaciation in Eurasia. They were derived from steppe mammoths (Mammuthus trogontherii).

It disappeared from most of its range at the end of the Pleistocene era (10,000 years ago), with a dwarfed race still living on Wrangel Island until roughly 1700 B.C

There will be no more Siberian Mammoth material coming out of Russia. That makes these specimens much more rare, as time goes on. Existing specimens will be trading hands from collections, rather than more material excavated and sold.

MASTODON

PARTIAL MASTODON TEETH

American mastodon (scientific name Mammut americanum) and all its sub-species, including the Cuvieronius sp., roamed North America from at least 3.75 million to 10,000 years ago.

Mastodons, along with mammoths and modern elephants, are members of the order Proboscidea. As adults they stood 8-10 feet at the shoulder and weighed between 4-6 tons. Their teeth had blunt cones. Mastodons used these teeth to browse on herbs, shrubs, and trees.

Woolly mammoth display at the State Museum in Columbia SC

Picture of "Sinbad", a life-size model of a Columbian Mammoth found at Mammoth Site, Hot Springs, South Dakota! (picture credits to them, the great photography is much appreciated).

Photo of a real baby woolly mammoth found!

This is the woolly mammoth that was found in Siberia (Discover Channel featured it - "Raising the Mammoth". The permafrost block contains the entire woolly mammoth, 10,000 years old, with the giant tusks sticking out , and it's been sectioned into 20 quadrants, with scientists s-l-o-w-l-y thawing out the permafrost section by section.

In Land of the Mammoth, Buigues and company painstakingly delve below the surface of one quadrant at a time. I'm sure we'll get more information as time goes on...but we know that even the meat was edible! We have genuine specimens of woolly mammoth hair from a Siberian area woolly mammoth available on this page.

AWESOME, ISN'T IT?

SERBIA, MILLION YEAR OLD MAMMOTH SKELETON

Thanks to customer Vladimir who works in the observatory in Serbia, he shared a very interesting find with us -

a MILLION YEAR OLD mammoth skeleton was discovered last year in Serbia at the surface coal mine site “Drmno” in the vicinity of the Roman town Viminacium - near the Danube river (this locality is about 100 km from Belgrade). There is a short video and a quite detailed description of this mammoth discovery on You Tube

Unfortunately, there is no English translation about this mammoth on the Viminacium website yet, but there are some interesting photos of it.

We agree! Thanks for sharing!

GOMPHOTHERIUM

Fossil GOMPHOTHERIUM TOOTH (extinct elephant species with 4 tusks), tooth found in South Carolina, 4-5 million years old
Gomphotherium (pronunciation: gom-fo-THEER-ee-um) ("Welded Beast") is an extinct genus of proboscid, which lived during the Early Miocene & Pliocene Eras of Europe (France, Germany, Austria), North America (Kansas), Asia (Pakistan) and Africa (Kenya).

The10 ft tall creature, also known as Trilophodon or Tetrabelodon, resembled a modern elephant but had FOUR tusks instead of two: two on the upper jaw and two on the elongated lower jaw. The lower ones are parallel and shaped like a shovel and were probably used as such.

Unlike modern elephants, the upper tusks were covered by a layer of enamel. Compared to elephants, the skull was more elongated and low. These animals probably lived in swamps or near lakes, using their tusks to dig or scrape up aquatic vegetation.

In comparison to earlier proboscids, Gomphotherium had far fewer molars; the remaining ones had high ridges to expand their grinding surface. A complete skeleton of Gomphotherium has been found a Muhldorf, Germany, in 1971
