One-Of- Kind Large 11.5" Complete Original Wolf Skull (Canis Teilhardi)Species: Canis teilhardi Species description: It was closely related to Grey Wolf and was a canid, however, was mostly wolf and some wild canine in many features but it is not direct ancestor of any species today. It became extinct at the end of late Pliocene about 1.8 million years ago and reached its peak in Late Miocene - Early Pliocene.It was a carnivore with little known except an aggressive meat eater. Fossils are extremely rare. Geological strata: Longdan Geological period: Middle Miocene 10MYA - Late Pliocene 1.3 MYA Item location: Item rating and description: 12 ++++++1 This One-Of-A Kind Asian Miocene Wolf is the rarest item I've ever had. Rarer than any asian sabercat including homotherium. It is so beautiful with excellent bone quality and a complete set of teeth. Its teeth are different than any other animal by far and I will never get another. The government has closed digging in Lougdan so no skulls will come again except for this whole skull. The teeth are unbelievably good.The back of skull is complete and showing and it was professionally prepped by me. IT took a lot of work and it was worth it. IT has bone quality and color that is unsurpassed by any animal I ever got from the area. This is the first good one ever found in last 10 years and fossil are so extreme this is for only an avid discerning collector who wants something neither museums or individuals have. This is even rarer than dire wolf and the last dire wolf skull in America sold for $23,000 at auction recently. While it was fully agape and I could pursue that I thought by providing it this way with everything showing it was not necessary and it displays so well on its lower jaws it would save you lots of money, and any one could purchase it at this price. So IM opening up a one-of-kind mammal to everyone with this low price . I will not get another one and this is a $15,000 discount to a dire wolf, and this is rarer so.....

Rare Complete Hoplophoneus Saber-Cat Skeleton w/o HeadSpecies: Hoplophoneus saber-tooth cat skeleton not including skull. Species description: Hoplophoneus was heavier and larger than Dinictis with longer sabers and was a true saber-tooth cat with saber-guards or flanges on it's mandible to protect it's fangs. These animals ambushed their prey, rather than running it down. We know they had a close family relationship due to multiple animals – family members in close proximity. These were successful animals, however, complete skulls almost never occur in fossil records of 30 MYA. Geological strata: White River Formation 30+ MYA Geologic period: Oligocene 30-23 MYA Item location: Badlands of Converse County, Douglas, Wyoming Item description & rating 12+ This unbelievably is a rare complete skeleton of Hoplophoneus about 4 ft long including tail and without head, which is an accurate representation of this animal. It is almost all bones from one animal but a few from another were placed in back femurs and one humerus in front. The neck vertebrae, dorsal vertebrae and caudal vertebrae including processes are complete and glued on an oak stained board for display. Feet and legs are complete with all bones including support bones on upper feet which are rare. Many bones were glued back together. This is one-of-a-kind and can be compared on a few other websites with wholesale prices starting at $6000 but since I prepped it and took many hours of my own time I can offer it so much less. Don't kick yourself for not buying and miss out on this one – what a piece. You will not find this at better price. For the saber-cat enthusiast and top collectors only.

HoldExtremely RARE ARBOREAL ANCESTOR TO BOTH CATS AND DOGS MIACISSpecies: Miacis Description of species: Miacis is so rare few people have ever heard of this animal including 98% of the paleontologists in the World as it is an ancestor of both cats and dogs . It is an extinct group of mammals that appeared in the USA in the late Paleocene even though some believe mammal parts found in dinosaur times 66 Million years ago, and are mammals of the family Miacidae. They are early mammal carnivores that were ancestors of the modern order Carnivorae . It was 5 clawed about the size and description of a weasel, and lived on the North American , Europe , and Asia continents although much later in Asia . They retained some of the primitive characteristics of the creodonts such as low skulls , long slender bones, long tails and short legs They had 44 teeth and teeth were reduced in size It was well suited for arboreal climbing with sharp claws like cats and had limbs and pelvis like dogs . The teeth were a cross between a dog and a cat . Carnivores evolved out of this animal and it is so rare I can’t say how lucky I am. It looked similar TO A CAT most believe cats , dogs , and bears evolved from this animal. It ate small reptiles, mammals, insects and eggs and fruit so an omnivore . It is considered an ancient kind of felis, an ancestor to the small cat by most . Miacis was probably an early caniform that went to dogs, cats, and bears.
Geographical formation and Period : Early to Late Miocene 20-5 MYA Location : Central Asia Item Description : WOW ANCIENT CAT BEYOND RARE MIACIS (Which CARNIVORES EVOLVED FROM ). This is only 3.87 “ long but an unbelievable find . Only traces of these are ever found in the USA and Europe and only a fraction of skulls in Asia. I’m the proud owner an animal almost never found and the first of a line of carnivores. I have only seen 3 skulls ever and this is the best found. This ancient carnivore is probably one of best whole skulls found but in interest of truth an inch smaller than another specimen.This has no restore so 100% animal, so look at forerunner to today’s carnivores and most consider the cats the main beneficiary including saber-tooth’ s, quite possibly dogs , and bears . It has entire lower jaws including the backs and a beautiful cranium and top and nasal area. I look in amazement at such an animal that started the whole line of carnivores we have today and yesteryear THIS IS TRULY AMAZING AND FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WANT SOMETHING FEW PEOPLE HAVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. If you’re a cat lover why not start collecting at the beginning . How do you price an item no one has anywhere .Well Ill sell it cheap actually .

Marvelous 7.5" Hoplophoneus Saber-Tooth Cat SkullSpecies: Masterpiece Beautiful Hoplophoneus Saber-Cat Skull Species description: The long-legged Nimravid saber-tooth cat (one of the larger ones) with razor-sharp sabers and the second earliest saber-tooth cat that roamed North America beginning in the Oligocene Period 35 MYA - 23 MYA. These animals had a lot of physical characteristics similar and exact to Smilodon including famous saber-guards and similar sabers while smaller. They stood at over 2 ft tall the size of a large bobcat, and were more of a group predator with a close knit families as evidenced by some hoplos found together in death while overall very rare species hunting an abundant food supply of grazing ungulates including camels and oreodonts . Using their highly developed saber-teeth they would likely sever the blood supply in the neck of their prey in the initial attack. Geological strata: White River Formation Geological period: 35-23.5 MYA Item location: Pennington County, close to Scenic South Dakota Item rating and description: 12++ Exciting New Full 7.5" Hoplophoneus Saber-Cat Skull with 2" Sabers, which makes this the 5th holpo to grace my path this year. The first 4 sold very quickly as will this one. This is the most prized highly desired vertebrate fossil in the world due to the cool sabers and saber guards. It is another great one from a long line, as I buy everyone I can .The bone quality can be seen so well so no beautiful adjutives are needed to describe .This again is a fine example with little restore - back of saggital crest, and partial zygos and I would estimate 85% - 90% at least bone original. One saber totally original and other one about ¾ original (rest repaired). Some incisors real and some restored. The larger incisors are original. All molars on one side original and on the other restored. This cat looked a lot like the Smilodon in many features which is reason for its popularity. It is a light multicolored skull and so attractive in color. Again the best prepper in the world by far did this full agape specimen. This may be my last one for awhile as no one is finding these. The lines are simply amazing on this skull. The time is now for you collectors to step up before gone . This one is 20 years old since found and recently prepped. So many of you tell me your sorry you didn't get it when available because you procrastinate. It's here - first come first serve and it too will be gone to someone who can make a quick decision so you better get now. Price: US $7,595 Shipping: $145 Use the following methods of payment...

Monster 31.5" Archaeotherium Entelodont Terrible Pig - Largest Known of SpeciesWOW Nothing Like this in the World! - HUGE MONSTER TERRIBLE PIG! – Archaeotherium Top Carnivore of its Time! - This could be the largest one ever found or a possible! Species: ARCHAEOTHERIUM MORTINI Species description: Carnivore Pig ARCHAEOTHERIUM Species of Entelodont. It was a relative of the ungulates and was a predator with large canines. They ate camels, sloths, oreodonts, brontotheres, and horses on the Oligocene. It could also dig for roots and tubers. It had an elongated skull with long bony knobs beneath the eyes and on the lower jaws. It also had long spines on its thoracic vertebrae over the shoulders and a small brain, and often obtained lengths over 7' long. It was 5-6 ft tall at shoulder. Its jaw could snap shut quickly and kill any animal during its time and was highly successful. It hunted in packs and could run off a huge hyaenodon. It also was a 1000 km mass. This species is so rare few exist anywhere. It could open its jaws very wide and snap down on prey. Geological strata: Brule Formation White River Badlands Geological period: Oligocene Period 34- 23.5 MYA Item location: Badlands of Western South Dakota Item rating and description: 12 – MONSTER Rarest of Rare Archaeotherium "Terrible PIG" Entelodont 27.5" Long X 14.5" wide w Neck Verts. It has an extra hood which is never found so it measures an unreal 31.5". This extremely large for its species with known archaeotherium largest length 24". It is the animal highlighted in BBC Prehistoric Beasts DVD, which is a must for interested parties. A copy is provided free with this. This is simply amazing. The quality is absolutely top premium for an animal that no one can find hardy anywhere, and it has and has almost all original teeth and only a small section of the cheek restored. It is so top quality for the species and also possesses 3-4 original cervical vertebrae attached as well as a few other bones. IT is a complete on side and other side embedded in matrix.This is for only top collectors who want an item you can't get anywhere. This is the animal shown in BBC Walking with Prehistoric Beasts so this creature alive. Just so you know what you have- archaeotherium can be found very occasionally and this hardly exists in fossil records let alone one this size. The last one was 20" long and sold for a fortune and was way undervalued. The canines are 4 inches on top long and 3" on bottom, and most teeth original. This is truly amazing and a top treasure, and if not sold will be with me forever. No one but myself offers this for sale in this condition. This is from a museum that closed. If you read this far you want it, so look at pics and buy quickly or lose it. Top collectors will appreciate it so get it. Before someone else. I do not expect to ever get one this quality and size again This is probably a record size Archaeotherium so what are you waiting for!

Sensational, Amazing, Beyond Words 11" Adult Skull Megantereon Saber Cat with 4 1/4" sabersSpecies: Megantereon inexpectatus Species description: This cat evolved into SMILODON in N. America known from La Brae tar pits in California. It was built like a modern jaguar but heavier, and had the largest sabers per skull and body size than any saber-tooth cat that ever lived including Smilodon. It was larger than average saber-tooth cat that was very successful yet found sparingly in fossil records. It had stock forelimbs, with lower half lion-sized and large neck muscles designed to deliver a powerful bite. It severed the jugular and windpipe with a quick bite. It was a solitary hunter not like machairodus. The elongated upper canines were protected by flanges at the mandible. They weighed up to 300 lbs. The upper incisors and lower were flattened as they appeared to tear off after much tearing as this animal shows. It was one of the most geographically successful saber-cats of all time and only one full skeleton has been excavated in France. Geographical Area: Pliocene-mid Pleistocene 4.5 MYA in America - 500,000 yrs ago in Asia Item location: Item description and rating: 12 Unbelieveablely RARE Megantereon Saber-tooth Cat 11" w/ 4 ¼" Sabers. It is 11 x 9" agape by 5.5" wide. This cat evolved into Smilodon from California Tar pits. It is over 90% original bone and over 95% Teeth including perfect 4" Sabers. The Teeth are Top Notch. It is beautifully prepared by one of countries best preppers and I've looked for this cat for over 5 years. It has compression on one side by tectonic forces but does not detract from appearance or value. The bone is almost all present which also is extremely rare on these saber-cats and a super color and with all teeth original except 3 lower small incisors, which were restored. The lowers were said to by a top collector as the best one ever seen. The back of the lowers are never present but in this cat the entire lowers are original bone and one of better pieces you can find. The value will grow huge in 5 years. The only restore areas on small section of sagital crest and zygos. Pictures do not do this cat justice at all.This piece will be displayed at many events for true appreciation. This is a once-in-a-lifetime piece and the distortion on one side causes slanted teeth but if it is all real that is the important thing. It displays best on its side and the sabers are huge. If you want to talk about it please call 706-235-2694. Available for museums. Words can't describe this skull as it is very fine. It was obtained many years ago and enjoy the pictures. This cat has been in the states unprepped until recently for over 10 years and not obtained directly from China. This is a masterpiece that is a work of nature, and you can't help to wonder why this saber-cat went extinct ½ million years ago in China were it survived last. This is a museum quality piece, and few have these saber-cats so maybe you will talk me in to selling this one. It was bought in USA.
