This Woolly Mammoth molar has a remarkable dental structure that provides insights into the dietary habits and life history of this iconic Ice Age creature. These molars showcase adaptations for grinding coarse vegetation in their herbivorous diet.
The chewing surface is characterized by prominent, closely spaced ridges known as lamellae, which facilitated the efficient processing of tough grasses and other plant material. The enamel, dentin, and cementum layers are well-preserved in fossils, allowing researchers to study growth patterns, age at death, and environmental conditions during the mammoth's life. Each molar stands as a testament to the adaptability and resilience of the Woolly Mammoth in the ancient, frigid landscapes it once inhabited.
