Olga Yashina, an employee of the Cherepovets Museum Association, showed the curious rarity to the students.
A mammoth molar was found in the Kamsky region. The plates on the tooth indicate that it was a young animal.
Olga Yashina told the students about paleontological finds in the Vologda Oblast, and how the teeth of mammals can indicate their age, diet and living conditions.
The meeting with museum employees is part of the Regional Historical project, which is carried out by the Vologda Regional Historical Society under the auspice of the Vologda Oblast Government.
