Description

Woolly Rhinoceros Tooth
Coelodonta antiquitatis
Pleistocene
Siberia, Russia
2.91 x 2.65 x 1.94 inches (7.38 x 6.72 x 4.92 cm)

Dating to the Ice Age, this fossilized tooth, presented on a wooden base, represents a Woolly Rhinoceros tooth from Siberia, Russia. The example displays well-preserved enamel with expected "wear" over the grinding surface and along the partial root structure. This dental "oddity" or sorts out of the Pleistocene is complex in appearance and came from a creature that is certainly very strange by most any standards.
