Yes - 25 mg is quite a load to scrape off of fossilized or glacier-preserved teeth.
Maybe 25 mcg? Thats gotta be it.

On the question of
mg vs µg, perhaps we should keep in mind that the sources of these tartar samples never went in for periodic teeth cleanings -- or, even, had toothbrushes, etc.
A dentist friend of mine who goes to underdeveloped countries on summer missions trips, says that he is astounded at the big chunks of tartar he pries off of patients' teeth -- even young adults'...

A baby aspirin that many take to lower the rate of heart disease contains 81 mg of aspirin plus binders and fillers. A gram contains 1000 mgs. A level teaspoon of sugar contains 5 grams. It is not hard to find 25 mg. of tartar on poorly cleaned teeth.
