Anancus Plio-pleistocene Fossil Tooth From France

Rare fossil molar of a mastodon of the genus Anancus (proboscidean mammal). From the Plio-Pleistocene of France
- 1.5 million to 600,000 years ago.
References to Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Formerly in a private paleontological collection. Beautiful natural surface patina with various colors. Encrustation of the tooth cusps.
Length 9 cm / Height 6 cm.
The extraction of sedimentary layers by dredging and the transport of sediments very frequently result in some fragments of the fossils. This specimen is stabilized.
As a qualified paleontologist, I can provide a certificate of authenticity upon request. This ancestor of large ruminants - of the elephantid type - is a fossil species, a rock, not subject to any protection status and not listed in CITES. The sale of Anancus fossil remains is therefore permitted.
