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
Poplar wood sold in the United States comes from trees that are in
the magnolia family. The trees growth range spans from the
Mississippi River to the east coast of the United States. It may not
be surprising to find that the wood from poplar trees was used
extensively for buildings in that area between the 18th and 20th
centuries. Poplar
is considered a utility wood and is one of the most common utility
hardwoods in the United States. It is often used
for pallets, crates, furniture, paper,
kitchen cabinets, doors, paneling, moulding and millwork.
This
particular piece provides a nice contrast to the
Fossil Woolly Mammoth Bone.
