WOOLLY MAMMOTH TEETH 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.

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   Artist's rendition of two living Gomphotherium:

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.

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?

GENUINE RUSSIAN BEAR FOSSILS Ursus Uralensis, or U. Uralensis Beware of so-called "Russian" or "Siberia" "CAVE BEAR" fossils being offered by other fossil dealers that have not taken the time to educate themselves and know their product.  These are not true "cave" bear fossils (though these are genuine fossils), as they are not a year-round cave dwelling bear.  The cave bear is much larger (SEE BELOW--the Ural Spelaeus) From the last Ice Age, (Pleistocene) 40-60,000 year old deposits from the Ural Mountain region from SIBERIA, RUSSIA     Above photos show how big the prehistoric Bear really was!  Photos taken at the Aurora Fossil Club show Russian bears were larger than present-day grizzlies.  Their diet was mostly vegetarian, but they also may have eaten meat when easily available.  They hibernated in caves (but did not live year-long in caves), where many of them died and their bones are found today.  These are not cave bears.
