Woolly Mammoth Tusk fossil ivory & Hair specimen – Ice Age (Mammuthus primigenius) over 10,000+ years old, from Yakutia, Siberia in Russia. 25-30mm tusk fragments with approx 8 small strands of hair, encased in small 3 1/2" square museum display with info cards. From the John Humphries collection, Tombstone, Arizona. - The woolly mammoth is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene until its extinction in the early Holocene epoch. It was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene. The woolly mammoth diverged from the steppe mammoth about 400,000 years ago in East Asia. Its closest extant relative is the Asian elephant. The appearance & behavior of this species are among the best studied of any prehistoric animal because of the discovery of frozen carcasses in Siberia and Alaska, as well as skeletons, teeth, stomach contents, dung, & depiction from life in prehistoric cave paintings. Mammoth remains had long been known in Asia before they became known to Europeans in the 17th century. The origin of these remains was long a matter of debate, & often explained as being remains of legendary creatures.
