This is a choice quality fossil molar tooth from the upper jaw of the giant European Woolly rhinoceros, known scientifically as  Coelodonta antiquitatis.  The color of the crown is an incredible golden yellow with fine veins of dark brown and black deep in the enamel.  All cusps are complete and undamaged and a full chewing surface is intact.  Wooly Rhino fossils are far less abundant than other Ice Age beasts such as Woolly Mammoth.  Woolly rhino teeth of this size, quality and preservation are RARE!!!   You will find one tooth like this for a thousand of the typical partial or eroded examples with no roots you see on the market.  This tooth is INTACT and with NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.  A highly recommended fossil from one of Europe's classic beasts of the Ice Age.

This fossil would also make a great compliment to a  primitive man stone tool and weapon collection as they lived alongside each other at one point in history and were hunted and revered by both Neanderthal man and Cro-Magnon man.
