Description | Fossil (Miocene, most probably Badenian) shark tooth with traces of human activity is described from the Pavlov I locality (Gravettian). The traces indicate that it has been used by the Pavlovians probably as a cutting tool. Besides, even bioerosion traces are visible on its surface, their origin being connected with the interactions between the tooth and the roots of higher plants. |
