Fossilized Mastodon Tusk “Partial” (062923a)

  • Name: Mastodon americanum  – Tusk Section
  • Age: Late Pleistocene – 65,000 – 11000 yrs
  • Location: San Jacinto County, Texas
  • “Massive” “Partial” Tusk Section  – 23 inch Circumference – 10.5 inches in Length – Weighs 19.3 pounds!
  • The Mastodon tusks were massive in size, more straight than curved,  and the surface texture was more course than the mammoth tusks. Considering the massive size and the total mineralization of these specimens we have, including the ivory layer, I would expect these to be at the oldest 65000 age end of their existence here.
  • Very Impressive Specimen !   – Specimen has been sealed and hardened
  • If you have always wanted a Mastodon specimen for your collection – You should definitely consider this one  – Very Good Display Specimen
