Juvenile Woolly Rhino Jaw from Siberia

It’s not often a jaw from a sub adult comes up.  Adult jaws are not hard to find.    This is a solid jaw with excellent teeth.  Nice color and detailed preservation on them.  The last tooth was was glued…it was cracked when recovered. 

The Woolly Rhino, native to Siberia, was a large, prehistoric mammal that thrived during the Ice Age. Covered in thick, woolly fur and featuring a massive horn on its snout, it was well-adapted to the frigid Siberian environment. Fossils and cave paintings reveal it as a formidable herbivore, using its horn to clear snow and access vegetation. The woolly rhino became extinct around 10,000 years ago, likely due to climate change and human activities.
