9.2" Large Mammoth Molar - Ural Mountains

This is a solid, 9.2" long mammoth molar collected from a River Bank in the Southern Ural Mountains of Russia. Based on my research of the fauna in the area I'm pretty confident this tooth is from a the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) and not one of the species it descended from.

This tooth is weighs over 5 lbs and is very heavily mineralized unlike the more frequently available North Sea material. While there is a crack running through the center of the tooth it has been stabilized and create a concern of the molar breaking.
