Hello all, Some friends of ours recently gave me this elephant tooth. I'm not sure if it fossilized, probably not. It is very delicate and full of cracks, is there any type of glue I can use to pour into the cracks to make the tooth stronger?

Hi, I'm sorry the first photos didn't come out but I needed the youth to help me out As i said, I was in contact with someone from Russia who has said he dug fossils of mammoths and he had some mammoth teeth for sale. He sent me photos of which I enclosed one . I was just curious as the quality of these fossils were amazing. I just question if these are truly 10000 year old fossils dug from the permafrost. Can you just advise if you feel this is a true mammoth fossil.

HI, I am new to fossil collecting and I wanted a mammoth tooth for my office. Through the internet , I contacted a fellow in Russia who claimed to have dug mammoth fossils . He sent me some photos. I'm no expert , but this looks fresh to me . I asked are you sure this is a 10,000 year old fossil and not from a modern day elephant and possibly from poaching . His reply was that the permafrost is an excellent preservative and they had found animals with skin and hair . What is your opinion.

The roots, that is, the lower portion of the enamel plates are pinched together, probably as a result of some jaw deformity. (This image is best viewed by clicking on the button on the upper right of this page => "other sizes" => "large".)© Harry Pristis 2013
