Description from the seller

絶滅したマダガスカルのカバ科の左下顎骨の化石 – 大臼歯2本 – マダガスカル

マダガスカルの絶滅カバ科のいずれかに属する左下顎骨片としての印象的な化石で、likely Hippopotamus lemerlei またはそれに closely related な孤島種と思われる。

標本は下顎の substantial portion とともに、元々の大臼歯2本がいずれも顎骨内にきちんと収まっている。その大きさはこの標本に特に強い解剖学的存在感を与え、これら大型草食哺乳類に典型的な頑健な歯列を強調している。

咀嚼面は特に明瞭で、カバ科の臼歯に特徴的な複雑に折りたたまれたエナメルパターンを示している。淡色のエナメル質とより暗い化石化した象牙質および周囲の骨との対比は、歯冠の構造を見分けやすくしている。

保存された下顎には広範な自然表面の質感、海綿状の内部骨組織、空洞、そして不規則な化石化エッジが保持されている。下側面と断片化した端部は、顎の内部構造のさらなる詳しさを示し、標本の科学的・視覚的関心を高めている。

マダガスカルの絶滅カバは島嶼の卓越した後期先史 fauna の一部であり、孤島の進化の重要な例を代表している。その痕跡は脊椎動物の化石・自然史標本の収集家にとって極めて高く評価されている。

2本の極めて大きな臼歯と強い解剖学的特徴によって特徴付けられる、実物性と展示性に富む充実した化石顎片。

臼歯の寸法:

3.5 × 2.5 × 3.5 cm
4.2 × 2.4 × 3.5 cm
