Double your traffic. Up for purchase is this very complete section of the lower jaw of a prehistoric Rhinoceros which was found in a site in Malaysia. This species could very well be a large prehistoric species which dates back before the common species of Rhinos presently. This can be clearly seen by the very large size of the jaw, which is much much bigger then any species of the species of Rhinos living today. The difference in species from those existing today can also be seen from the lack of a hole or two holes for some species in the front of the jaw which is usually placed under the most frontward tooth. In addition the Javan species has a front incisor tooth at the front of their jaw as well, which this specimen clearly does not have . If more information on this topic is required, please message me. This fossil is completely natural and hasn't undergone any repairing or stabilization processes, yet it is very stable and solid. The only small flaw is the chip on one side of the front tooth as shown in the pictures. The specimen measures over 22.5" in length and from 4" to 5" in height along it's taller sections. The specimen is also thick and very heavy. From looking at the extent of fossilization, this specimen is a minimum of 100 000 years old. This is a very rare piece. Please have a look at my other auctions as well. read more
