Product information "Palaetherium crassum, jaw fragment"

A jaw fragment from the lower right jaw of the ancient proto-horse Palaeotherium. It includes the last two molars and a piece of the third last molar. The cusps of the molars are crescent- or V-shaped and connected by enamel ridges. This pattern is called selenolophodont dentition. The molars are low-crowned, which indicates a leaf- and fruit-based diet. High-crowned molars, as we know them from modern horses, occured during the Miocene due to a habitat change from forest to steppe and the associated dietary switch to grasses.

The locality has been depleted, which is why jaw fragments with this rich dark brown coloration have become rare.

Age:  Eocene;
Locality: Gard, France
Size:  8.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 cm

A copy of the original old label is included, as well as a new detailed label.

The color on pictures can differ slightly from originals for technical reasons.

Palaetherium crassum, jaw fragment
Palaetherium crassum, jaw fragment
This is a jaw fragment of the proto-horse Palaeotherium. It still contains two molars. The cusps of the molars have a crescent or V-shape and are connected by enamel ridges, which is often described as selenolophodont dentition. Low-crowned molars, as in this specimen, indicate a diet of foliage and fruit in the forest. High-crowned molars, like those of today's horses, developed as a result of the change in habitat from forest to steppe and the associated dietary switch to grasses during the Miocene.The site is unfortunately depleted, which is the reason why finds of these specific, dark jaw fragments are becoming increasingly rare.Age: Eocene; Locality: Gard, FranceSize: 6 x 3 x 1 cmThe fossil is supplied including a copy of the historic label and a new label.The colors on the photo may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.
