Woolly Mammoth Hair - Authentic 19,551-Year-Old Pleistocene Specimen

This authentic Woolly Mammoth hair specimen is radiocarbon-dated to 19,551 years old. It comes from a well-preserved Woolly Mammoth discovered near the Indigirka River in Siberia, Russia - one of the permafrost-preserved specimens that have allowed scientists to study mammoth soft tissue, diet, genetics, and behavior in extraordinary detail. A full-grown Woolly Mammoth stood 10 to 12 feet at the shoulder with shaggy hair that provided a substantial advantage in the struggle to stay warm on the Pleistocene steppe.

Hair From a Mammoth - Preserved for 19,551 Years

This is not a cast. This is actual organic hair from an actual Woolly Mammoth - preserved by the deep freeze of Siberian permafrost for nearly 20,000 years before being recovered and documented. The specimen has not been treated in any way and is intended for display and study only. Each tuft is completely unique - coloring and texture vary widely. Presented in an acrylic jar inside a glass-topped riker display case measuring 4 in x 3 in x 1 in with an informational card also serving as the certificate of authenticity.
