Czacha Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hello, Could you tell me something about this tooth? Is it Coelodonta antiquitatis's tooth or Stephanorhinus etruscus's tooth? Is it possible identify this tooth? Kind regards, Paweł Czachura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Welcome to the Forum, Pawel ! It looks to be an upper left (maxillaris sinister) cheek tooth of a Rhino, a very old in his age according to how worn is the crown on the chewing surface. Maybe the below document and excerpt from that might help a little, also, the location of the find, which is not specified. *Luca Pandolfi, Leonardo Maiorino. 2016. Reassessment of the largest Pleistocene rhinocerotine Rhinoceros platyrhinus (Mammalia, Rhinocerotidae) from the Upper Siwaliks (Siwalik Hills, India). excerpt from * " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

LordTrilobite Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Yup, definitely looks like woolly rhino upper jaw tooth. The folds on the inside are more open on Stephanorhinus. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
