Beautiful Largest Ever Hyaenodon Horridus (Juvenile)Species: Hyaenodon horridus Species description: This was the largest species of Hyaenodon in North America with massive high saggital crest in back of head, long narrow snout, short neck and long body and tail. It was the top single carnivore although a number of Terrible Pigs could drive one off. This was the largest carnivore for over 20 Million years called a Creodont and it hunted alone not in packs like its smaller 3 related species . These creodonts shared a specialized dentition commonly found in meat eating mammals with shearing structures called carnassal-teeth. This one species was the size of a bear and had 1000 lbs of pressure per bite , and was more dangerous and a lot bigger than any saber-tooth cat of its time a loner). Male specimens show grinding marks on their teeth which means tooth-grinding was used as intimidation with animals. The last creodont went extinct in America about 23 MYA but lasted to the Miocene in Asia . This is the rarest fossil of the 4 species of Creodont by far. Geological strata: White River Formation Geological period: Oligocene Period 35- Early Miocene23 MYA Item location: Eastern Wyoming close to Lusk Item rating and description: 11 What a Vicious Rare Carnivore- The Extinct Largest Oligocene 11" Hyaenodon Skull This is a juvenile Largest Carnivore during the Oligocene Period that got to 15" when an adult. This animal has an unusual tooth morphology because as it was growing one of his canines was just coming in behind another juvenile tooth even though it was really huge and larger than all the other Creodont species. The skull has some restoration and very well done in a few areas IT is the only carnivore group that has gone extinct and a real rarity even though I had a larger one that sold this year. Many of the teeth are original but some are restored to this animal but some incisors and few top molars were restored very well. The lower jaw is intact and sagittal crest restored. I can't tell % but at last 70% on this one but assure it is a beautiful animal and well prepped in all regards tucked into a nice display matrix. Both sides are shown but not all on one side . This is not for a discerning buyer because if your going to analyze it I don't want you to buy it because a portion is restored in every area. I will not have this returned ever because it is nice but not museum caliber. This would be a $4500 piece if 90% original since horridus are very rare. This animal has very cool parts and should be viewed as a nice piece at great price. I will not sell to a perfectionist who wants total original. The pictures do the rest of the talking and this is a prize piece as so many of my mammals and an excellent buy on such a rare mammal that hasn't been seen alive in 20 Million years. Amazing piece of nature and yours for only... Price: US $1,950 Shipping: $69 Use the following methods of payment...
