Most Desired Large Hoplophoneus True Saber-Tooth Cat

Species: Hoplophoneus primaevus (true saber-tooth cat)

Species decription: Hoplophoneus saber-tooth cat was about the size of a bobcat that roamed the ranges of western USA about 32 million years ago. It was larger including larger sabers and heavier than Dinictis, which was the first saber-tooth more than 39 MYA so this saber-tooth is the second oldest saber-tooth cat that ever lived. It was a true saber-tooth cat unlike Dinictis and had saber-guards or flanges on the mandible to protect its fangs. From the limb bones it indicates these cats ambushed its prey rather than running it down, and could stab it's prey easier than other sabers due to being able to open its lower jaw to a 90 degree angle. We also know they were found in pairs which indicates a family style life. Leidy found the first Hoplophoneus fossil in 1869, and others have been found in the White River Formation in Wyoming, Nebraska, parts of Colorado and South Dakota and is very rare in fossil records. They weighted anywhere from 100-250 lbs. These are rarer than Dinictis but more common than Pogonodon, Eusmilus, and Nimravus-which is rarest and I have one for sale. All of these saber-cats are extremely rare.

Geological formation: White River Formation

Geological period Oligocene: 32-23 MYA

Item location: Pennington County, South Dakota

Item Description and rating: 12++++++++++- Large 7 ¾" Hoplophoneus True Saber-tooth Cat Skull with 2 ½ inch both original perfect sabers. The sabers are long for this saber-cat also.  This is a rare fossil cat and is a beautiful representation of the first true fossil saber- cat with all top teeth original with only a few small incisors on bottom restored.  This is the most sought after American saber-cat due to the long saber guards(both original) in the front of lower jaw. The upper part of this animal is the best I have ever seen.   Restored areas of skull are minimal including back of lower jaws which is normal, and part of zygos in the back. I estimate the skull overall to be 90%  original and teeth 95% original  and this cat is actually better than the first one I sold in two weeks at the same price .   I  love cats so much and immediately fell for this animal so if it doesn't sell I also gain a lot.The sabers are very large and all real without restore. Pictures for this do all the talking. This is a chance of a lifetime to own a rare and beautiful part of the past USA plains.  This would be a shock to see this animal for more than a month. The best prepper in the world did this skull so retail on this cat is $10,000 plus. A deal at...

 today . IT became extinct 10,000 years ago with wooly mammoth . IT was larger than Gray Wolf averaging 5 ft in
 length  and weighing 150-175 lbs . Legs of Dire Wolf was shorter and sturdier than those of gray wolf and the

Geological period: Pleistocene  100,000-10,000

Item location:      FAMOUS VERO BEACH SITE , Indian River County, Florida

Item rating and description: 13 SPECTACULAR DIRE WOLF 12” COMPLETE SKULL from The Famous  Vero Beach 
Site where the recent mammoth engraving and Vero Beach Man is from . This skull while not perfect , I would
 describe as an outstanding specimen of such a rare mammal that few even see let alone can own . I debated to
 sell this one or not , but I do have another upper skull in my collection . AS you know only Florida, Alaska , and
LaBrea have these animals , and the University of Florida has only one exhibited . It was IDed initially by
 Richard Hulbert  from the University of Florida , however its length of 12” alone Ids the species for sure . No  other
 species  of wolf over 11 inches long ever existed so for you doubters, it’s true . This specimen has the most
spectacular teeth you will ever see. The entire upper are all original teeth , with only  repair to both canines .
The lower has all original except 4 smaller incisors in the middle , which were restored so the teeth are at 95%
original  and great . The skull has the  original entire snout area , and the cranium totally original , the most
critical parts of any animal . It was expertly prepped and in the middle behind and in front of eyes has
 restoration as a smaller  section was not there . The color difference is due to lower jaws being found a short
 distance from the upper but matching in color except the teeth , which are darker . The lower jaws are simply
outstanding with spotted teeth . The color change can easily happen due to matrix shifts animals are found in .
Even the back is much darker with black than the front of the upper skull on the same piece so it happens .
 It makes this piece very special by this . The prep is so well done you will never see the restored areas as its
done by the world greatest prepper.  Any item especially one this rare and special  is to be seen by the who
le and  not the parts.Imagine this creature about the pounce on a mammoth as this site is famous for.
Take a minute to visualize this Specimen or go to the internet

        .
I still can’t believe I have this piece , and you won’t either whoever buys it . The canines are 1 5/16 inches
 and lowers are original totally  with no repair . One of these from LaBrea has and does now go for double
this price .It comes with a beautiful open mouth mount so enough talk –just look at pictures .

Species: Sinotragus occidentalis

Species description: This is Large extinct  Bovidae part of cloven - hoofed mammals like buffalo, antelopes, water buffalo, and cattle found only  a small area in Asia and now Turkey. Few bones of this animal are found but we know it was large with strong cranio-facial flexture and horns parallel at the base, curved backwards and the sinus in the pedicle. It has been little studies as so few skulls can be found so species names are widely disputed with comtemporaries of Rhino Chilotherium and Giraffe Samotherium, which I also have.
Until recently this animal was only known in Asia by a few skulls.

The piece has excellent color and offers over 80% originality with only exceptions slight restore on sides of animal and upper lower jaws. The horns are over 90% original and teeth are all present and resemble no other teeth or any extinct or living species.

First Oldest Sabercat Ever-Female Oligocene  Highly Original Beautiful Female  Dinictis Saber-Tooth –100% Real Sabers and Highly original  

Species:   Dinictis  Felina  Saber- Cat Skull

Species description:   The long –legged dinictis with razor –sharp sabers was the smallest and the earliest  saber-tooth cat  that roamed North America beginning in the Eocene Period 45 MYA -23 MYA . They stood at least 2 ft tall with cheetah-like habits and diet , and were solitary predators  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. Most skulls  were about 7.5 inches long

Geological strata:  White River Formation

Geological period:  35-23MYA

Item Location :  Custer County, S Dakota

Item location:  Description :  12 Excellent  Adult  Female  Open Mouth  Dinictis Saber-Tooth Cat Skull with 100% Sabers and Rest 90% Overall. It is 7 “ long -avg for the species. This is a special piece as the sabers are all real saber with one small  spot inside  stained due to enamel wear that could have been natural wear for this individual . Also the teeth are almost all original with only a few lower  incisors restored . Even the canine incisors are natural . The molars are all natural and the upper bone quality is premium with overall about 90% natural . The  upper skull is immaculate with all real  original teeth including all small  incisors which is rare nowadays . The teeth are so great on this cat. The upper is almost all original except  for one zygomatic arch(other one natural –yes natural ) and  part of sagittal crest at very top . The lowers have the backs of jaws restored only . All and all it’s an exceptional cat  and this comes from a universitie’s professor’s collection  in PA but was not prepped until recently and what a great job doing that . The color is great and a real beauty in all regards with some natural spots all over the specimen  and with original  sabers which never happens . Almost always tips are missing . It can be shipped without fear of breakage .This is for sincere collectors.  IT comes with a nice pretty display base and is very secure on its stand. Its comes open mouth and easy to mount. I figure overall the skull is about 90% original, and upper teeth are 100% so it’s a premium cat sold to you at a good price. Few of these have been found lately as prices have risen for wholesale and retail cats , and it’s impossible to get these at same prices I used to pay. Also it’s almost impossible to find a good Dinictis for sale anywhere now so supply and demand take over.  These are my speciality  as well as other saber-cats . You just can’t get these anymore for this price . Also prepping fees have increased ,however , I was able to get this at a discount so yours  a fair price of

Marvelous Rare HUGE FELIS ATTICA 6 " Skull

Species:  Beautiful Felis Cat Skull-Felis attica

Species description:  Smaller  wild cat from Earlier Pleistocene that was similar but larger tearing teeth
That lived in Asia and Europe 9-6 MYA . Known as a wild hunter who took animals down larger than its size as a strong cat with comical shaped teeth like modern  felines. This is the forerunner to today’s  wild smaller cats.

Geological period: 9 MYA Miocene -2.5 MYA Pliocene

Item Location :  ASIA

tem rating and description: 12 + Unbelievable VERY  RARE   HUGE Felis  Attica cat From China  with  both upper and lower of skull all original  complete including teeth . I can’t find any restore on this cat and even though 2 teeth are darker it is to this cat.  Sometimes this happens due to surrounding soil . It is 6 “ long , which is massive and longer than any other attica I have had ,  and  very wide  . . Most atticas are 5 inches long . The skull bone is almost all there (98%) even the zygos  and back of lower jaw and is so complete is makes it a top specimen . Even the partial smashed upper in middle still gives it a classy look and I believe a rock hit and killed this animal in life as it looks like the skull was crushed in one area  and caused death so it adds a special feature as the reason it died . So much can tell a story even after 9 Million years . This is forerunner to present-day cats. The cat is whole and a beautiful piece in all regards. This piece has prepped well with only a little matrix left to keep it stable but look at end of lowers above the zygos. It turned out fantastic after prepping with much time involved.  This is a must for a true collector of cats. My specialty is cats and this is super . Great things come in small packages and this is it. The teeth color intermixed and how they  are seen very well, as totally cut from matrix, and spotted black skull areas combined with beige is simply amazing, and never hardly seen.  A true marvel of nature .

Item location: Western S. Dakota Pennington County

Item rating and description: 12 + Unbelieveable   Large Dinictis Saber-Tooth cat 8" Skull and 27" Skull and Skeleton. Dinictis saber cats were normally 6-7.5" skulls but this is larger. It has beautiful original long sabers over 1 5/8" long. The skull is really very nice and lays on the matrix in a position to show the whole skull with skeleton or can be mounted separately. The teeth are at least 85% original with only casted the bottom front and are beautiful. The upper teeth are all original from what I can see with sabers only at tip restore on one. So rare is this piece this is only the second skeleton I've had. This is for top collectors and the price is great. The restored areas include front top skull small section part of one zygomatic arch and front teeth bottom jaw on skull and on skeleton only the shoulder blade, 2 feet-one has partial metatarsals original, partial back femur (About ½) The rest is original  I estimate about 60% of skeleton is present with no tail and some dorsal verts with processes . The color os dark brown which is rare  - usually white in this strata so that is a treat.

BEAUTIFUL Complete Rare Skull of the First CAMEL - 35 MYA

Species: Poebrotherium wilsoni (First camel ever)

Species description: This was first camel 35,000,000 yrs ago that mainly lived in large numbers in open woodlands in S. Dakota and looked about the size of a sheep only 30 inches high and skulls 6-8 inches only for adults and had a long neck and limbs with small hooves on feet. It ate plants. Unfortunately this animal is rare for palentologists in fossil records - even rarer than horses and rhinos because they were tasty to carnivores so even when found - noses, chins and backs of skulls are missing because they were tender prey to saber-tooths and they were hunted by grabbing muzzles to bring down. Cranial portions are almost non existent or very, very rare complete. But guess what - I HAVE A COMPLETE CAMEL.

Geological formation: White River Formation

Geographical Period: Oligocene Period 35-23 MYA

Item Location: Badlands of Converse County, Wyoming

Item description and rating: 12 + WOW What a FIND! If you want something no one else has then buy this RARE COMPLETE 30 MYA Sub-adult CAMEL skull that is 5" long. This is not only rare in finding especially complete for above reasons but one of few found in Wyoming - these are only described in South Dakota in all books. This is beautiful light tan bone and looks like the animal died yesterday. This animal is whole which is almost unheard of and has all teeth and slender nose as described in books with little restoration only where it had a crack which was filled around entire animal. THIS IS A MUSEUM Piece. Bone is present in all areas except ½" area on one side and small piece on top. I can't describe how nice is animal is so look for yourself. Retail this animal goes for $2000 so for a 1" less size skull than adult (I prepped this animal so I know it well) You can get this item for an unbelieveable price!

Geographical item location: Pennington County, S. Dakota

Item description and rating:  12++++  Top 99% Original Dinictis Saber-tooth Cat Skull .This is an unbelievable find because it has almost all original bone which is unheard of because it fossilized and somehow kept its original position.  Words can't describe this animal either so pictures will show you how even the zygo arches and back of lower jaws are original-You say impossible just look. The teeth have 2 original sabers (one restored at tip) and 3 other original teeth with rest restored. Again I have never seen an animal this complete and since I got a reasonable price it is yours at a fine amount. This is only for top collectors who want the best for their collection.

Amazing Piece of History Huge Oligocene Eporeodon Oreodont

Species: Eporeodon Oreodont

Species description: Largest Oreodont  that resembled a modern cow in size , appearance, and functions. They were short-legged, blunt-headed herbivores that had 5 toes on each foot. This animal is very rare compared to other oreodonts and the Largest and a real prize. They lived in the American West  35-23 MYA. They were food for saber-tooth cats and hyaenodons for millions of years, much longer than cows have existed.

Geological strata: White River Badlands

Geological period: Oligocene Period 34-23 MYA

Item location: Badlands of Western South Dakota

Item rating and description: 12 - X -Special  Rare Large (Over 12") Eporeodon Oreodont from long ago, however, the beauty, detail, and bone quality of this animal is the best I have ever seen . I have a number of these and the size is just huge. This was way bigger than the largest saber-cat of its time. The animal has under 5 % restore with almost all of the 5% in the forward 1" of mandibles. The color is bone white on the right side and a nice orange patina on the left. It displays a beautiful freestanding base  of it’s own matrix which is large (11.5 x almost 8" x 5.5" wide). This is a great opportunity to own a real favorite and  most oreodonts are more common but this  one is very, very rare and one of the LARGEST MAMMALS of the OLIGOCENE. This will not last long so don't  procrastinate or it will not be left.  You will never see a nicer or larger Oreodont anywhere.  I also have a large part of the back of the skeleton (see below) that can be purchased in conjunction with this skull.  I prefer to sell together.

Geological strata: White River Badlands

Geological period: Oligocene Period 34-23 MYA

Item location: Badlands of Western South Dakota

Item rating and description: 12 - X -Special Rare Large Eporeodon Oreodont Skeleton which contains both back complete legs with some portion of the feet, pelvic bones, and partial front legs and many vertebrae in matrix. The bone quality of this animal is the best I have ever seen together with the skull. You can buy both items at a super price together (see item above). A large part of an large animal is very rare, and the skeleton was expertly prepared so well seen in a matrix. This piece as many full bones including many vertebrae and others that have partials exposed have still whole bones in matrix but this is best way to display it for structural reasons. Anyway buy both skull and skeleton together for best price. I will let pics do the talking on this one. This is for top mammal collectors and is a museum piece.
