Polished Cross Section of a Mammoth Molar Tooth, Mammuthus columbi, South Carolina Mammoth molar teeth (Mammuthus columbi), the Columbian mammoth, reveal the complex enamel ridges and dentine layers used to grind tough grasses and vegetation during the Ice Age. Found in riverbeds and coastal sediments of South Carolina, these large, flat-topped molars often preserve well due to mineralization and are sometimes polished to showcase their intricate growth patterns. The enamel plates are key for identifying species and offer a glimpse into the diet and evolutionary adaptations of one of North America’s most iconic megafauna.
