Further steps will need to be taken to authenticate the age of the item. If provenance and authentication records are available; they should be included with the sale. It is important to recognize local, state, US federal, and International laws and prohibitions of sale and shipment. California, Washington, New York, New Jersey have laws that prohibit Mammoth & Mastodon specimens from being shipped into their states. Review of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) Appendix II and in person authentication of age will be needed to determine sale.
Thank you!
