Woolly Rhinoceros Bone

This fossilised bone once belonged to a Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), a massive Ice Age herbivore that roamed the mammoth steppe of Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistocene epoch, around 20,000 to 50,000 years ago. With its dense structure and weathered surface, the bone offers a tactile connection to a cold, ancient world long vanished. Displayed on a bespoke oak stand.

Woolly rhinos were well-adapted to glacial climates, with thick fur, short limbs, and a large front horn used for clearing snow to graze on tough grasses. Their bones are typically found in permafrost or riverbeds, preserved by the very cold that once sustained them.

Now stabilised and conserved, this specimen stands as a powerful relic of Ice Age megafauna, both a fragment of deep time and a testament to life’s resilience in extreme environments.

The Woolly Rhinoceros was a large Ice Age mammal, adapted to the harsh conditions of glacial Eurasia. It stood over 2 meters tall at the shoulder and could weigh up to 2,500 kg. Its thick coat, stocky build, and large nasal horn made it highly suited to the frozen landscapes it inhabited alongside mammoths and other megafauna.

Fossilised bones are typically found in areas once covered by steppe-tundra, where preservation conditions remain ideal. This specimen, whether from a limb, rib, or vertebra, offers a rare, tangible link to one of the most iconic animals of the last Ice Age.
