Woolly Rhino Jaw from Siberia

This Woolly Rhino jaw contains four teeth, including one that is still unerupted. One of the teeth has a minor crack that has been carefully stabilized, also it  has a small crack at the end of the jaw. Its vivid coloration and excellent preservation make it a remarkable and valuable specimen.

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.
