A lower jaw of a Central European straight-tusked elephant, ca. 200,000 years old Sturdy lower jaw of a straight-tusked elephant (Elephas antiquus) with two preserved, serrated molars. Mounted on a wooden base. Width 55 cm, length 34 cm. The straight-tusked elephant inhabited Europe and the Near East during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. Just like today&#39;s existing elephant species, the lower jaw of the Elephas antiquus featured fewer teeth. It had a shoulder height of 4,2 meter and was thus larger than the woolly mammoth. historic, historical, prehistory, han, Additional-Rights-Clearances-NA - Stock Image
