Coelodonta antiquitatis |
|
Coelodonta antiquitatis (the "woolly rhinoceros") is an extinct species of rhinoceros
that lived in
Europe
and Asia, from perhaps 1 million years ago until perhaps as recently
as 10,000 years ago.
Coelodonta antiquitatis lived on the steppe-tundra, and was a herbivore (plant-eater).
It is not entirely clear whether it was a grazer of grasses, or a browser, but
evidence from its muscles and teeth tends to suggest the former.
An adult of the species was around 12 feet (3.7 meters) in length. It had
two horns, a small horn between its eyes, and a larger horn on the tip
of its snout that was around 3 feet (1 meter) in length.
Coelodonta antiquitatis Timeline:
Coelodonta antiquitatis were herbivorous (plant-eating) mammals that lived between 1 million and 10,000 years ago

The Ancient Human Occupation of Britain Project (AHOB) funded by the Leverhulme Trust began in 2001 and brought together researchers from a range of disciplines with the aim of investigating the record of human presence in Britain from the earliest occupation until the end of the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. Study of changes in climate, landscape and biota over the last million years provides the environmental backdrop to understanding human presence and absence together with the development of new technologies. This book brings together the multidisciplinary work of the project. The chapters present the results of new fieldwork and research on old sites from museum collections using an array of new analytical techniques. - Features an up-to-date treatment of the record of human presence in the British Isles during the Palaeolithic period (700,000 - 10,000 years before present)
- Takes multidisciplinary approach that includes archaeology, geochemistry, geochronology, stratigraphy and sedimentology
- Coincides with the culmination of the AHOB project in 2010, providing a benchmark statement on the record of human occupation in Britain that can be utilized and tested by future research

This monograph presents the changes in diversity and distribution in time and space of the mammalian fauna in Denmark and adjacent areas throughout the Weichselian glaciation and the Holocene (115–0 kyr BP). In all, 77 terrestrial and marine mammal species have been identified and described in details as regards first and last appearance data, number of dated records and the inferred time range in the Danish/south Scandinavian area. The changes and their possible causes are analyzed and discussed in relation to climate-induced environmental changes as advances and retreats of the ice cap, vegetational succession and changes in land/sea configurations and for the Holocene also island formations and increasing human impact. |
