Fossilised partial Mammoth tooth It has been well cleaned

It has been well cleaned and prepared and is intact with the quadrate bones but is missing the pterygoid

Looking from the inside

it is not surprising that it has had a bit of damage over the years

5cm long and a really nice and unusually coloured specimen

With this example if you look closely you can see where the shell has been scraped away with a blade of some description and smoother areas where the pattern was smoothed
