Description from the seller

A beautiful piece of the lower jaw of the extinct cave hyena; Crocuta spelaea. The tooth has stunning colors!

This piece of lower jaw contains the first premolar (p2) and was found in the Yakutsk region of Siberia, Russia.

The jawbone was split into two parts but still firmly attached in the jaw. The two parts are glued together. This part is otherwise natural.
