Description

Set of Fossil Rhino Teeth
Subhyracodon occidentalis
Pleistocene
Lower Terrace Deposits
Rhine River, Germany

This pair of fossilized, juvenile Rhino teeth is presented on custom metal bases and comes from the Rhine River region of Germany. The brownish examples of Pleistocene dentition display an intricate surface related to the grinding pattern of the prehistoric mammal with white accents adding a color. Root systems partially extend from both fossils in this duo evidencing quality preservation as well as attractive presentation. The pairing is small yet provocative and from that rather uncommon locality. The larger tooth measures 11.53 x 5.22 x 3.51 cm and the smaller example measures 8.8 x 6.24 x 6 cm.
Overall Measurements: 6.50 x 3.15 x 3.15 inches (16.50 x 8.00 x 8.00 cm)


[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
