Description: Hi all!This is a Large Beautiful Fossil Partial Molar from a Gomphothere from the Pleistocene of Florida! The piece measures 2.1015 inches (5.38 cm) with no repair or restoration!Gomphotheres are close relatives of elephants that lived from 20 million to 11 thousand years ago. These bizare animals looked mostly like elephants but with many more shapes of tusks and other strange facial features depending on the species. Early Gomphotheres were known to have four tusks, two upper and two lower as opposed to elephants and Mastodons which only have two upper. Later Gomphotheres also had only two upper tusks but the tusks actually spiraled outward! Other crazy features that showed up on some Gomphotheres are long shovel shaped lower jaws, and tusks that jutted out to the side and curved inward forming a "U" shape, and four large straight tusks. Gomphothere fossils are substantially rarer that their counterparts Mammoths and Mastodons. A great opportunity to own a piece of a rare and bizarre Ice Age mammal at a price that won't break the bank!
