A remarkable piece of prehistoric history, this authentic Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) upper jaw, complete with two well-preserved teeth. Sourced from the Siberian permafrost in Yakutia, Russia, this specimen is believed to have originated from an adult male.

Determining the sex of a woolly mammoth from its molars alone is extremely challenging, as molars do not exhibit clear sexual dimorphism (distinct differences between males and females). However, there are some contextual and indirect methods paleontologists use to infer the sex of a woolly mammoth, though these typically require more than just molars. Male woolly mammoths were generally larger than females, and their teeth, including molars, may reflect this size difference. Adult male molars might be slightly larger on average, but the overlap in size between males and females makes this unreliable without other skeletal evidence. Wear patterns on molars can indicate age rather than sex, as mammoths replaced their molars six times throughout their lives. Older individuals (male or female) show more worn molars.

This extraordinary fossil remains untreated and unsealed with Paleobond, preserving its natural state for collectors, researchers, or display purposes. Perfect for paleontology enthusiasts or institutions seeking a rare and tangible connection to Earth's ancient past.
