9.2 M Year Old Rhino Skull Found Preserved

Researchers found a rhino skull fossil in Turkey. This information was published the 21st of November in PLOS ONE a science journal involving Pierre-Olivier Antoine and colleagues from the University of Montpellier, France. This rhino is made out to be a large two-horn common in the area during that period of time. It is suggested that the rhino was 'cooked to death' at temperatures of 500*C. The skull was found separated from the body 30 km north of an eruption site. That makes this such a rare find because usually finds near an active eruption site are quickly ridden of by the intense temperatures. sciencedaily.com ANCIENT RHINO SKULL
