About:

Each of these pieces is cut off of a larger piece of mammoth molar. The mammoth molar are first stabilized with resin, then cut and then each individual piece is cast in resin again. This produces a more durable material, however, this also results in resin on the outside of the block so each piece may require surface sanding in order to remove the resin from the surface before attaching to a handle.  

These Fossils are genuine mammoth fossils. They date all the way back to the last ice age (10,000-40,000 BP). Needless to say, this rare material is in itself very special. For that reason it also makes unique products even more special. Occasionally, tusks, molars and bones are found from these iconic mammoths.  All of the treatments stabilize the fossils with vacuum, high pressure and strong resins. These Fossils are commonly used for knife handle scales, pistol grips, jewelry, inlays, accessories and other precious objects.
