Dicerorhinus hemitoechus (Falconer) del Post-Villafranchiano fluvio-lacustre del Torrente Stirone (Salsomaggiore, Parma)

Note
Location Europe Subject Taxonomy Species Fossil Rhinos

The specimen was later re-attributed to Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis (Toula).
The skull preservs the mandible as well.
This fact is rather rare in remains from "alluvioni padane" (Padane alluvial deposits).
