Mined from: San River, Poland

Era: Pleistocene
Geological Age: 11,700 ya to 2.6 mya

Description: This one of a kind mammoth tooth fossil specimen from the San River in Poland is a substantial partial molar with several clearly visible enamel plates. The sides show alternating reddish-brown dentine and grey to black enamel bands, while the broad chewing surface has a mottled black, grey, cream and brown appearance from natural wear and mineral staining. One end retains a thick, blocky section of the tooth, while the opposite end is more broken and tapered. Natural cracking, chipped edges, missing sections and surface wear are present throughout.

The San River in southeastern Poland cuts through sediments that have produced Ice Age animal remains, including mammoth teeth, tusk fragments and bones. Fossils recovered from river deposits are often stained dark by minerals and organic material in the surrounding sediment. This specimen is from the Pleistocene Epoch, though the exact age and mammoth species cannot be confirmed without detailed collection records and scientific testing.

Mammoth fossils are commonly associated by collectors with endurance, strength, family, memory and survival through difficult conditions. These are traditional symbolic associations rather than scientifically proven properties.
