3D model of a perforated fox tooth from layer 9 of the Willendorf II site

<p>3D scan of a perforated fox tooth. Teeth of carnivores such as fox, wolf, or even cave lions were frequently used as ornaments during the Upper Paleolithic. Further cut marks on fox bone in sites on the Swabian Alp and in Moravia suggest that foxes were hunted for their fur and meat. The item is from layer 9 of the Willendorf II site in the Wachau Region in Lower Austria. It constitutes one of the numerous artefacts found in the same site as the Venus of Willendorf.</p>
