This is a distinct fossil from a classic European animal. It is a large jaw of Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), found in the Rhine River, near Worms, Germany. The Red Deer are seen in cave paintings, which show the color patterns of the animal. This specimen is nicely intact and has ALL SIX LARGE MOLARS still embedded in the jaw. The teeth have almost no wear present, meaning the jaw is from a deer in its prime. The natural color and fine detail of the jaw is easily seen. This is a wonderful fossil from this classic prehistoric animal, the European ''Red Deer''.
