Lot Highlights
Rarity and Value
These fossilized teeth of a prehistoric horse, recovered from the icy expanses of Siberia, stand as a silent witness to a world long lost to time. Dating back to the Pleistocene epoch, they belonged to an ancient equine species that once roamed the vast tundras and grasslands. The natural mineralization and exceptional preservation of these teeth make them a rare and valuable relic, sought after by both paleontologists and collectors of prehistoric artifacts.
Discovery and Acquisition
The harsh Siberian permafrost, known for preserving Ice Age creatures in near-pristine condition, played a crucial role in safeguarding these fossils for thousands of years. Found in a region renowned for its prehistoric discoveries, these teeth were carefully excavated and studied to confirm their authenticity. Such finds provide invaluable insight into the diet, environment, and evolution of early horses, offering a tangible link to the majestic creatures that once galloped across primeval landscapes.
Craftsmanship and Presentation
Time has naturally sculpted these teeth, transforming organic material into mineralized fossils with rich hues of earthy browns and amber tones. The intricate patterns of enamel and grooves remain well-defined, revealing the wear patterns that speak of an animal’s diet and way of life. Whether displayed in a personal collection, an academic setting, or a museum, these fossils serve as a stunning natural artifact, frozen in time yet rich with history.
Human Touch
To hold these fossilized teeth is to touch a fragment of the distant past—a world shaped by Ice Age migrations and climatic shifts. These remains carry the story of an ancient horse that once roamed untamed Siberian landscapes, its legacy preserved through time. Whether studied for scientific research or admired as a connection to Earth’s prehistoric past, this specimen invites fascination, offering a glimpse into a world that existed before recorded history.
