A mammoth tooth is from a large, furry animal that lived during the Ice Age. Mammoths were like giant elephants!
The Mammoth Tooth is a large, dense fossil, often brownish, grey, or cream-colored from mineralization. It has a distinctive, corrugated chewing surface composed of many parallel, wavy enamel plates. This unique ridged structure makes it visually different from the simpler, pointed teeth of carnivores.
