This is an Huge Top Quality Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) Lower Molar from the Pleistocene of Siberia! This molar is in fantastic condition with terrific enamel and a huge nearly perfect root! The piece broke into five pieces and was glued back together, but isn't restored in anyway! The dimensions measure 3.095 x 1.94 x .973 inches (7.86 x 4.93 x 2.47 cm) and weighs 2.05 ounces!
The Woolly Rhinoceros is a species of rhinoceros that lived throughout Europe and North Asia from 3.6 million to 10,000 years ago. It was covered in a thick layer of course hair that helped protect it from the freezing temperatures of the Ice Age much like the Woolly Mammoth. Adults ranged in size from 10-12.5 feet (3-3.8 meters) in length, about 6.6 feet (2 meters) tall at the shoulder, and 4-6 thousand pounds (1800-2700 kilograms). Much like modern rhinoceroses, the woolly rhino fed on tough vegetation using its large molars. A great opportunity to own a piece of one of the most iconic Ice Age mammals without breaking the bank!
