The mammoth tusk is a very rare fossil raw material that has come down to us from the distant past: the oldest remains of the woolly mammoth are about 5 million years old, and the last representatives of the family died out about 10 thousand years ago.
The age of this artifact is estimated to be anthropogenic, that is, the period of about 2.5 thousand years ago.
The most mineral-rich soils that have become a shelter for the mammoth bone, its unpredictable climatic conditions have brought their changes to the structure of the most valuable raw materials, so the fragment has come down to us in a mineralized state with various degrees of damage.
