£ 120.00
A rare and authentic Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) fossil tooth,
discovered in Sutton Courtenay (Sutton Hardcourt), Oxfordshire, England. This specimen dates to the Pleistocene Epoch, more specifically the Devensian Stage (~115,000 to 11,700 years ago), when glacial cycles dominated Northern Europe and megafauna roamed the Ice Age landscapes.Geological & Stratigraphic Context:
• Location: Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, UK
• Geological Epoch: Pleistocene
• Stage: Devensian (Late Pleistocene)
• Depositional Environment: Cold-climate river terrace gravels and glacial outwash plains typical of British Ice Age fossil sites. These deposits often contain bones and teeth of large mammals adapted to tundra and steppe-like environments.Fossil Type & Classification:
• Type: Fossilised Molar or Premolar Tooth
• Species: Coelodonta antiquitatis (Blumenbach, 1799)
• Common Name: Woolly Rhinoceros
• Order: Perissodactyla
• Family: Rhinocerotidae
• Superfamily: RhinocerotoideaMorphological Features:
• High-crowned (hypsodont) tooth with complex enamel folding adapted for chewing coarse tundra vegetation
• Thick, durable enamel shows grinding wear, typical of Ice Age herbivores
• Rooted or partially rooted depending on the individual and level of preservationNotable Details:
• The Woolly Rhinoceros was a key member of the Pleistocene megafauna, ranging from Western Europe to Siberia, adapted to cold steppes and mammoth tundra
• Specimens from Oxfordshire are highly sought-after due to the area’s long-recognised significance in British Quaternary palaeontology
• This specimen was carefully chosen for its quality and completeness, suitable for both display and educational collectionsBiozone:
• Typically falls within the Late Devensian faunal assemblage, often associated with other cold-adapted mammals like Mammuthus primigenius and Bison priscusSpecimen & Scale Information:
• Scale Rule Squares/Cube = 1cm — Please consult the photograph for precise dimensions
