As you can see there are three teeth one cut long ways, one split in half and one whole.   Bonhams is expecting an array of bidders to show at the auction, from celebrities to interior decorators. "Fossils are now becoming more of an accepted decorative piece with designers, especially on the west coast," said Tom Lindgren, the auction house's consulting director of natural history. "A number of fossils have a very sculptural appeal." "The rarer the specimen, the more ferocious the specimen, the more beautiful the specimen, the more competition between celebrities" over it, said Lindgren. "Fox News"    This was imported from Holland in the Netherlands where they get caught in fishermen’s nets at the bottom of the North Sea. Due to this some of the smaller ones are harder to come by. The teeth have been professionally cleaned and coated with a special preservative to prevent deterioration.     Truly HIGH quality European Ice Age mammoth teeth from the North Sea are much rarer than mammoth teeth from the Siberian tundra (Russia).  Most North Sea fossils are so badly eaten up and rotted by the harsh elements of the salt water.  The North Sea now covers what was once a vast Ice Age valley where Pleistocene beasts and humans thrived.  The North Sea ocean floor is a deposit for the fossils of the fauna that lived during that time prior to this flooding.  These fossils are sometimes accidentally brought up in fishing nets, sustaining even further damage and breakage.  On the contrary, Pleistocene fossils from the Russian Siberian region are found in the ground in massive bone beds that extend for considerable distances.  These fossils are blasted out of the tundra with water cannons and large volumes of specimens are found intact.  The nature of their burial and method in which they are extracted has produced vast quantities of exceptionally preserved woolly mammoth teeth, bones, tusks, etc. so much so, that it seems like supply is inexhaustible with each year bringing a greater flood of these Russian specimens.  Compare this to the rarity of retrieving a SINGLE high quality comparable European woolly mammoth tooth from beneath the North Sea and the differences in scarcity become apparent.  Top grade (only) North Sea fossils will surely appreciate in value over the years whereas, the sheer volume of fine grade Russian fossils that continue to flood the market will continue to bring prices DOWN for Russian mammal fossils in the years to come.  If you are a fan of the movie 10,000 B.C. this would make a great addition to your collection.
