.68" Fossil Eocene Mammal (Plagiolophus) Molar - France

Comes with a floating frame display case.

Plagiolophus is an extinct genus of mammal that lived in dense forests across Europe during the Eocene and Oligocene epochs, or approximately 30-48 million years ago. Tooth morphology suggests they were frugivores or folivores, relying on consumption of berries, soft leaves, shoots, nuts, and various forms of leaf matter for nutrients. They are believed to be related to tapirs and rhinoceros, and possibly ancestral to horses.
