This mystery mammoth molar was donated to the Pope County Historical Society in Glenwood, Minnesota, along with a large bison skullcap and another mammoth molar.
I am actively investigating its discovery location, along with several other donations. Check the link in my profile to uncover more stories of 'lost' Pleistocene specimens, where I’ve pieced together the details of their discovery and preservation.

This mammoth molar's dentin/enamel plates have separated. It was found in a gravel pit on a farm in Nora Township by a Works Progress Administration (WPA) crew in November 1941.
If placed together in its original form, it measures about 14cm x 14cm. It is now housed in the Pope County Historical Society Museum in Glenwood, MN.
