- Lot Description
Ancient Central Asia, Siberia, Pleistocene Epoch, ca. 1.2 million to 24,000 years ago; Ancient North America, Alaska, Pleistocene Epoch, ca. 1.2 million to 24,000 years ago. A wonderful collection of fossilized teeth from the prehistoric woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), and a fossilized vertebra from a walrus (Odobenus rosmarus). The teeth are high crown molars and premolars, some with long columnar roots protruding from the enamel base. The enamel and roots are shiny shades of brown, caramel, and black as a result of fossilization. The flat profile tops and depressions indicate herbivore dentate. The walrus vertebra is a light brown with porous edges and a rough striated surface from the fossilization process. A wonderful collection of teeth and bones from prehistoric animals! Size of vertebra: 3.75" W x 4" H (9.5 cm x 10.2 cm); 6.25" H (15.9 cm) on included custom stand; size of largest tooth: 2" W x 3.5" H (5.1 cm x 8.9 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand.
