Product information "Lophiodon rhinoceros - tooth"
Lophiodon rhinoceroides was an early relative of horses and rhinoceroses that inhabited tropical European forests during the Eocene. The characteristic zig-zag-teeth allowed for lateral jaw movements only and despite only reaching to our knees it had massive jaws. This indicates a herbivorous lifestyle.
This is a jaw fragment with a single tooth. Historical label included.
Age: Eocene
