Woolly rhinoceros tooth ID

[Czacha]

Hello,

Could you tell me something about this tooth? Is it Coelodonta antiquitatis's tooth or Stephanorhinus etruscus's tooth? Is it possible identify this tooth?

 

Kind regards,

Welcome to the Forum, Pawel !

It looks to be an upper left (maxillaris sinister) cheek tooth of a Rhino, a very old in his age according to how worn is the crown on the chewing surface. Maybe the below document and excerpt from that might help a little, also, the location of the find, which is not specified.

Yup, definitely looks like woolly rhino upper jaw tooth.

 

 

The folds on the inside are more open on Stephanorhinus.

Thank you very much for your responses!

I bought it in Poland but I do not know whence this tooth come from. So can I be certain that it is woolly rhino tooth?
