AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare and beautiful woolly rhinoceros fossil skull, known by the scientific name Coelodonta antiquitatis.
Coelodonta antiquitatis lived in Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistocene and was a member of the megafauna.
It survived until the end of the last glacial period.
Most of the remains of this ancient rhinoceros have been found in permafrost, and for this reason their discovery is very difficult and rare.
Fun fact: the remains of the woolly rhinoceros were known long before the species was described and formed the basis for some mythical creatures. For example, the Siberian natives believed that their horns were claws of giant birds or dragons
