Lot 3 Fossils Tooth Bones Microfauna Rodents Prehistoric Mammals Vertebrates Oligocene Cenozoic Tertiary Collecting Paleontology Museum.

Rather interesting lot of particular and difficult to find Fossils. The Collection is composed of the following Bones of a probable Rodent, species not determined:
- one Incisor Tooth (7 mm);
- a Phalanx of the hind Limb;
- a Metacarpal Bone (7 mm).


The Fossils are found in fissures in the rock and have been interpreted as the inhabitants and prey of the Animals that lived near the caves. The presence of Bat Fossils confirms the hypothesis that these fissures were part of a cave system. All our material coming from this locality is part of the endemic microfauna, with most of the pieces measuring just a few mm in length. It is therefore necessary a magnification  to correctly visualize these fossils, but they are marvelous examples of an ancient ecosystem of 28 million years ago.
