Mined from: Alaska, USA

Era: Cenozoic (Pleistocene)
Geological Age: ~0.01–2.6 mya

Description: This fossil seal tooth from Alaska dates to the Pleistocene epoch, a time marked by repeated glacial cycles and the presence of large ice sheets across much of the northern hemisphere. Seal teeth are well-adapted for grasping and holding slippery prey such as fish, often showing a slightly curved shape and pointed tip. Even as a fossil, the enamel and overall structure are typically well-preserved due to the durability of tooth material.

Preserved in sedimentary or glacial deposits, these teeth offer insight into marine ecosystems during the Ice Age, when cold coastal waters supported abundant marine life. Fossils like this help reconstruct past climates and animal populations, providing evidence of how marine mammals adapted to shifting environmental conditions during periods of glaciation.
