Help With Identifying Mammoth Tooth

[Janetzillah]

Hi there,

I work in an antiques store and we get in a huge variety of unusual items and sometimes, something comes in that we need some help with.

I have attached pictures of what is apparently a baby woolly mammoth's tooth. I have never personally seen one before so I would never be able to tell a real one from a replica. I am a new member and hope that someone would be able to provide some information.

Many thanks,

Janet

It is for sure a Mammoth tooth; what size is it?

That's a beauty Janet!

By the way, I love Victoria. My wife and I had a chance to visit about 25 years ago on a rockies trip. You live in a beautiful place!

Hi everyone. Thanks for the replies. The tooth is 9" wide and 5.5" high.

Thanks!

Not a monster, but certainly no baby!

Ok, well thank you for all your help! Now that I have found you, I will post again if we ever get another fossil.

Thanks again,

Cool tooth! I hope you make some profit on it! I'd keep it for myself

Have to agree.

I would keep it also.
