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'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,
