Item rating and description: 12 – PROBABLY The BEST TERRIBLE PIG in THE WORLD(18” long by 11” Wide). This specimen has all the original parts plus a few extra . Yeah a few extra canines since this pig was achieving maturity so it was an adult but the juvenile canines are still present on lowers and uppers . This is an early arch which means it has less incisors than the normal 6 as it evolved over millions of years .The teeth are literally perfect –all original with only 2 repaired . The skull I can’t find restore but it was purchased from a famous fossil finder –paleontologist as a 99% Skull . Even the backs of the lowers and the back of sagittal crest are real bone which is unheard of .I have never seen one over 90%. This is the famous pig (entelodont) so highly talked about in the BBC documentary “ Walking with Prehistoric Beasts” which tape also comes with this specimen . This is simply amazing. IT is a complete skull with beautiful color, and completeness with extraordinary appeal . It was with the collector for 15 years and it was found by the owner who is a dear friend . The canines are simply amazing and 3 inches long and all teeth original except for two and so well done I can’t even tell. The cheeks are original also . Its like you found this in a China shop , so smooth and clean it appears perfect . I had to hae a perfect one for my collection .AS you all know I love pigs as well as cats , and was so happy to get this one .They are so rare especially one of this quality . This carnivore was at the top of the food chain and ruled the earth 23 Million years ago for over 10 million years .Yes pigs ruled the earth as every other form of life has at one time , and this was their time. This is a collectors Dream . Few can be mounted as they are so heavy it takes and firm steel display rest as this one. Not sure what sex due to cheeks not being that big but lower jaw indicates male . Its value in money($18,000plus) can’t match the years of enjoyment I will get from viewing it. It’s just not about the money but the appreciation for these magnificient beasts .

Item rating and description : 12 Rarest of Archaeotherium-Juvenile Nature’s Finest Entelodont Archaeotherium “Terrible Pig” Skull found last year in South Dakota . These small juveniles are hardly ever found and the person who knows the most over a 25 year career hunting these as only seen 3 other juveniles ever. What a nice specimen at 16”long , which is not large but large if you consider it was only 8-9 years old carnivore . This is the most sought after mammal now after all the BBC Prehistoric Beast immortalized publication tape, which comes with this beautiful creature. This is probably a female as it showed sexual dimorphism and cheeks of females and young were smaller in size. This was the most feared creature of the Oligocene Period with hyaenodons. It has all original to this animal teeth and lower jaws , as the lower jaws are almost 100% original with all original teeth, and it even shows new tusks coming in behind the baby tusks which are worn but still present. All the teeth are to this pig so combined with quality of bone makes this pig great. One zygomatic arch is original and the other restored with 98% original behind the ears on the top of this carnivore baby also with one cheek flap original, and some of the top before the nose restored and sides all quality bone . Any restoration you can’t see so it is spectacular . The beautiful color of skull with black and brown spots is so appealing also as are the teeth color with teeth all visible and shiny as to protect them . Most all are in matrix due to strong possibility of breakage in prepping, and this was safest for this specimen. The morphology is simply amazing for this animal. I saw one a little better quality and same size in Denver last year ,and it sold no questions asked for $16,000 . These animals made mince meat of the saber cats of the time. This is your chance to get a quality beautiful specimen for less money than you will ever find for same quality. Price: US $9,999 No Discounts Shipping: $93 Use the following methods of payment...
