Upper right molar (M3) of a mammoth found in 2018 in a gravel pit near Cham-Oberwil (Canton Zug, Switzerland, see https://s.geo.admin.ch/86165de2fe). The tooth was slightly damaged before or during extraction by an excavator. A preliminary C14 date gives an age of at least 29,000 years BP - the molar belongs, just like older finds from the same gravel pit, in the time before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) of the Weichselian (or, locally speaking, Birrfeld) glaciation!

If you use this model, please attribute it to “Amt für Denkmalpflege und Archäologie, Kanton Zug, Jochen Reinhard” and/or link to the German version of this site.
