Coelodonta antiquitatis Woolly Rhino Jaw with Tooth Fossil | Pleistocene Devensian | Sutton Courtenay Oxfordshire UK | Genuine Specimen
£ 288.00
A rare and authentic Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) fossil jaw
section with an in-situ 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 Jaw Section with Tooth in situ
• Species: Coelodonta antiquitatis (Blumenbach, 1799)
• Common Name: Woolly Rhinoceros
• Order: Perissodactyla
• Family: Rhinocerotidae
• Superfamily: RhinocerotoideaMorphological Features:
• Robust jaw fragment with partial or complete molar preserved in situ
• Hypsodont (high-crowned) tooth showing complex enamel folding and wear from grinding tough vegetation
• Compact bone structure indicative of large Ice Age herbivoresNotable 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
• Fossils from Sutton Courtenay are notable for their excellent preservation and significance within the British Quaternary fossil record
• This specimen is carefully chosen for its anatomical clarity and completeness, ideal for display or researchBiozone:
• 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
• The item in the photo is the exact fossil you will receive, selected for preservation and clarity Certification & Authenticity: All of our fossils are 100% genuine specimens, and this item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
