1.58" Fossil Eocene Mammal (Lophiodon) Rooted Tooth - France

Comes with a floating frame display case.

Lophiodon is an extinct genus of tapir-sized mammal that lived in Europe during the Eocene Epoch (38 - 52 million years). They are closely related to chalicotheres, a family of unusual long-limbed ungulates that browsed forests of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa from the Middle Eocene to the Early Pleistocene. They are considered to be a remarkably successful group: fossil evidence suggests they flourished for almost 50 million years.
