Many teeth, tusks and bones of the Ice Age mammoth have been found. Complete skele-tons are extremely rare, however. One of the finest tusks found to date in the Netherlands was recovered from the Belvédère quarry outside Maastricht in 1986: an almost complete specimen 3 m long. The Belvédère fossils are all of Mammuthus primigenius, the Woolly mammoth. This species lived from about 300.000 to 10.000 years ago.
