Fossil Auerochs Jaw - Bos primigenius

Very nice large piece jaw with Teeth/Molars

The Auerochs (Bos primigenius) is an extinct species of cattle.

Although modern domestic cattle descend from the wild aurochs, the aurochs was much larger. The shoulder height of an aurochs bull was probably between 160 and 185 centimeters and that of the aurochs cow around 150 centimeters. An adult bull weighed up to a thousand kilograms.

After the last Ice Age, aurochs, mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses disappeared definitively

This Jaw is desalinated and still in clean water; everyone handles conservation in their own way, I therefore gladly leave this to the next owner

Doggerland no longer exists, but traces of it are still found on the beaches of the North Sea. It is common for hikers, enthusiasts and researchers to find something special there

Also amazing treasures such as a Jaw of a Oerol. Even on dredged sandy surfaces and in fishing nets, bones are brought to the surface, as is the case this Summer 2024
