This is a genuine fossilized tooth from a Chilotherium rhinoceros, a genus known for its large, tusk-like lower incisors rather than a nasal horn. This herbivorous mammal lived across Eurasia during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, from about 13.7 to 3.4 million years ago. Based on its geological context, this specific tooth is estimated to be 5–8 million years old, a period in the late Miocene when Chilotherium was a successful grazing animal.
