Mammuthus Primigenius (Woolly Mammoth) tusk section. Permafrost find, Siberia.(#L1)

A larger section of Mammuthus Primigenius (Woolly Mammoth) tusk bark, sourced from the permafrost of the Taimyr Peninusla, Sibera. 
This fossilized tusk fragment dates to approximately 30,000 years old and comes from a world renowned location, known for its incredibly well preserved Pleistocene material. 

This section of tusk bark has a lovely patina, with natural unpolished character and displaying small amounts of blue mineralization (vivianite). Its colorations and texture changes are thanks to the Siberian permafrost sealing it from the outside world for the last approximately 30,000 years. Every change of color and texture resembles a moment in time that took place during this period.

The excavation season in Siberia is brief, material can only be collected for a few weeks each year. Combined with current regional high tensions, the availability of authentic Siberian tusk is increasingly limited.
