Category: Fossils, Gems & Mineral Specimens

Three fragment specimens of fossilized ivory from a single mastodon tusk. The fragments exhibit age-appropriate heavy wear, fractures, and chips, as photographed. The original material has been largely replaced by minerals, a process called permineralization, which hardens it into rock. The largest piece measures approximately 42" (along the curve) x 4" x 7" tall. Total approximate weight of 15 pounds.
