This is a nice fossil molar tooth WITH FULL ROOT from the upper jaw of the giant European Woolly rhinoceros, known scientifically as  Coelodonta antiquitatis.  The color of the enamel is a beautiful black, orange, brown and gold with a contrasting brown root.  The presence of a root in fossil Woolly Rhinoceros teeth is rare and most are found without roots and as heavily worn fragments.  Wooly Rhino fossils are far less abundant than other Ice Age beasts such as Woolly Mammoth.  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.
