Additional
Information
The Woolly Mammoth lived during the
Pleistocene that was 2.58 Million to 11,700 years ago. This mammoth
had large ivory tusks and is related to an extinct elephant genus
and was about the size of today's African Elephants. The woolly
mammoth coexisted with early humans who hunted these animals for
food. However, they became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene
probably because of climate change and hunting.
The
Woolly Mammoth ivory, teeth and bones I use comes from Siberia. Most
of these fossils come from native people who collect them on river
banks and from various digging sites.
The
Giraffe bones I use are from the leg bones of the Giraffe. These
bones come from South Africa and were legally obtained from
harvested animals. This particular piece has a nice patina and
complements the Fossil Woolly Mammoth Ivory.
