Woolly Mammoth Bone Fragment – 4cm Framed Fossil in Black Floating Frame
A Genuine Woolly Mammoth Bone – Recovered from the North Sea
Hold a piece of the Ice Age in your hands. This authentic woolly mammoth bone fragment, measuring 4cm, has been carefully recovered from the North Sea — one of the world's most remarkable sources of Ice Age megafauna remains. Presented in a sleek black plastic floating frame, it makes a stunning and conversation-starting display piece.
Estimated to be between 10,000 and 100,000 years old, this fragment is a tangible connection to a world long vanished beneath the waves.
About the Woolly Mammoth
The Mammuthus primigenius, or woolly mammoth, was one of the most iconic creatures of the Pleistocene epoch. Roaming the vast grasslands and tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America, these magnificent animals stood up to 3.4 metres tall and weighed as much as 6 tonnes.
Perfectly adapted to the harsh Ice Age climate, woolly mammoths were covered in a thick coat of long, shaggy fur — sometimes reaching up to 90cm in length — with a dense undercoat for insulation. Their enormous curved tusks, which could grow to over 4 metres long, were used for foraging, fighting, and clearing snow to reach vegetation beneath.
Woolly mammoths lived alongside early humans, who hunted them for food, used their bones for shelter construction, and depicted them in cave art. They went extinct approximately 4,000 years ago, with the last isolated populations surviving on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean.
North Sea Fossils
The North Sea floor was once dry land — a vast, fertile plain known as Doggerland — which was home to mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, cave lions, and early humans. As sea levels rose at the end of the last Ice Age, this landscape was gradually submerged, preserving the remains of its ancient inhabitants in the seabed. Today, fishing trawlers and dredging operations occasionally bring these extraordinary fossils to the surface, making North Sea mammoth bones among the most historically significant Ice Age specimens available.
