Looking for a new fossil for your collection - how about a complete mammoth skeleton?



If you've got the dollars to spend, check out this Sotheby's Auction - if not, just check it out for the interest:

Wow that looks really fascinating. I bet it costs a bomb like how many other antique masterpieces would. Your guests would definitely be enchanted and awed by the grand centrepiece of your house if you own this piece of beauty.

The title of this thread caught my eye because a jeweller friend of ours is looking for some fossil material to make novelty jewellery.

But I think a mammoth skeleton hung around the neck could cause a few problems:)
