Beautiful Super Rare Juvenile 6.5" Juvenile Hoplophoneus Saber-tooth Cat Skull

Species: Hoplophoneus primaevus

Species description: The long-legged Nimravid saber-tooth cat (one of larger one) 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

Item location: Shannon County, SD

Item rating and description: 12++  Extremely Rare Gorgeous  Juvenile 85% plus Hoplophoneus Saber-Cat Skull  6½" long with 2.10" Sabers. This cat was described by the best prepper  in the world  as a top notch cat  and the first juvenile he has ever seen. Juvenile Hoplos are hardly ever found while you can find them in the first saber-tooth cat - dinictis species. Not only rare but exceptional quality  with teeth original except some bottom incisors, back sagittal crest, and one partial zygo and back of one lower jaw. One saber complete with slight repair and one mostly saber (Left one) with more repair and some restore Color, detail, and completeness is above reproach. The white color with lines is usual for these animals, which is how they looked close to death. The lower jaw on one side was all there which is really rare. Most of the teeth are original. This cat is the most highly desired vertebrate fossil in the world due to its resemblance to Smilodon mostly saber guards, and one of early cats. The upper skull is outstanding. The last one at auction adult went for $12,000, but this one is very very rare as juveniles are not found. This is one I won’t mind keeping, but it can be yours. I sold 12 adults in one year so if you're a true collector and know how rare this is, you will know what a deal  this truly is. I sell hoplos cheaper than anyone for the same quality.  For a collector who wants all the species this one will not come around again-a juvenile so don’t hesitate or it's gone. This one a procrastinator will never get as I get tons of people who want these before I even get these. I decided to let first come first serve on this instead of going to anyone first so all of you can get this.

Item description & rating: 12+++++ Unbelievable  Large30.5”x8 ” Wide Triceratops Lower Jaw  in fine condition with all the supporting  structures including superb back hinge . No teeth are included from this animal but I will add some nice teeth for you. It was found by a ranchers hand this year, and is a amazing piece in structure and fully prepped. What is so magnificent over 65 million year of being buried did not break this jaw. It was found whole even though it had crack fills with little restore (less than 2%), and this is y long so a large very old animal. It is extremely natural and such great shape . Many people do believe these  animals lived over 100 years old .The detail including contours and ridges make this complete piece a nice piece with excellent bone quality. The brown color is so great and beautiful as it was an underground find. All of you know I love Trike items and here is another.  These large jaws are so rare. I’ve only had one other  If this piece had teeth due to size and quality it would be worth over $3500-4000 ,so Im asking under ½ that  and with the jaw you will get some teeth also .  I can sell a display also for $65 added  for this piece if you wish . If you want a great fully rooted tooth I’ll send one also but total price will be $1999

UNREAL TOP & FRONT TRICERATOPS 20" x 12" SKULL

Species: Triceratops horridus

Species description: Large 11 ton herbivore with frill around 6.5 ft head and 1 nose horn with 2 Brow Horns off frill.

Period: Cretaceous Period 70-66.5 MYA

Geological strata: Hell Creek Formation

Location: Glendive, Montana

Item Rating and description: 12+++ WOW Rarely FOUND Very Special  HUGE Triceratops 20" FRONT SKULL Weighing 40 LBS and 12" wide. It is also 8" high. I was delighted to find this of upmost bone quality with all the details and ridges of this piece. Quality, color, and detail is so great on this one, and it was the toughest large piece I ever had to ID. I even sought the opinion of an expert. At first I thought it was Triceratops skull but then maybe large part of a REX Ilium but the distinct blood grooves always means triceratops. It is heavy and allows you to have a rare piece and not take up too much space for a huge animal. It looks like the entire section from top of head to close to the beak. The size of this animal had to be huge - probably  a 6 ft long with frill. You will like this piece, and to me it's like a work of art. It was sealed very well though and it  should be very secure after using much penetrant sealant, which is very expensive per bottle and it took almost a 16 Oz bottle for this monster skull enclosure. The color is dark brown with excellent bone quality. The pictures show what a treat this is. No restore just crack fill. I left a few small areas of matrix on bottom to strengthen the entire case for display. This item I have never never seen for sale but here it is . This is a chance to own a rare piece virtually never found. If you look in museums this piece is always restored - but not this one.

Large B + Quality Oviraptor  7.5 Egg Nest


Species: Oviraptor philoceratops

Species description: This birdlike dinosaur which had feathers was discovered by Roy Chapman  and while known as a egg stealer was actually only brooding its eggs instead of stealing other eggs . Only a few skulls and bones have been discovered but eggs are quite common around the Central Asia area .It had a strong beak and could break most anything open. IT has a distinctive crest on its head . It was about 4 ft high and 6 ft long .

Geologic strata:   

Geologic timeframe: 75-70 MYA

Item Location : Mongolia   

Item rating and description: 12 X-Fine7.5 Very Good Egg CoverageOVIRAPTOR  EGG NEST Mostly  7” Eggs plus in Almost Perfect condition .  This is a Beautiful Large Nest at a Super Price due to a favor owed by the dealer . These eggs have with super color, structure, egg shell detail, and high  quality e. This is a large nest with egg shell coverage on 5 eggs, 1.5 eggs on bottom, and one egg on side with entire egg present but only a portion of shell visible  with excellent coverage. It was expertly  prepared  with cleaning, and is very heavy  .These eggs are all about 7 inches long so regular oviraptor not citipati oviraptor  . Now most eggs coming out of China is 4th rate but these eggs are absolutely beautiful.  I decided to almost give this egg nest away to give someone who wants a large nest an dirt cheap cost . All eggs are stabilized and shined with penetrant sealant . I’m  selling these ultra wholesale close  at my cost.  Oviraptor eggs this good should go for $700 a  single egg and with a nest they go at least $1000 apiece and up to $1500 apiece , but these eggs you can have literally for less than  $500 a piece so it is way underpriced .  If you’re a egg collector nut -this is for you.  Enjoy and take advantage of my stupidity on this one.  You can’t even normally buy wholesale these eggs for this so what is way under wholesale .

XX Long Triceratops Nice Triceratops Brow Horn with Beautiful Tip

Species: Triceratops horridus

Species description: Large 11 ton herbivore with frill around 6.5 ft head and 1 nose horn with 2 Brow Horns off frill.

Period: Cretaceous Period 70-66.5MYA

Geologic strata: Hell Creek formation

Location: Glendive, Montana

Item description and rating: 12+ XXLarge Long 35.5" x 22" Diameter Triceratops Brow Horn with excellent pointed tip. This is the longest triceratops horn I ever had as it is slender and long with a beauty of a tip. These are getting rare as I only got a few this year after selling 12 of them last year.
It is sleek and an old probably female triceratops. This horn has a huge curve, and as they get bigger they get bigger on the curve also. You will never find a longer trike horn anywhere. The males had thicker horns and this with its length make it a very old trike indeed. It had 3 major breaks but fit nicely into the next unit so being sealed with penetrant sealer it made it strong and crack fills went really easy. All the pieces are there so little restore was needed but maybe 1% was restored. It is professionally prepped well with a super tip with nice shape and texture. It is fine representation of one of the most fascinating of the dinosaurs who could beat TREX. This one probably killed a few Rexes throughout its lifetime. It was found by a ranchers daughter-in-law, and sold to me to help pay her tuition this semester so they have gone up due to demand about 50% since last year. Triceratops horns sell fast so be the first to get this monster. I doubt if I'll get another this long. I only have 2 left on the skull connection point and both of them 24 inches.

Super Rare Full TREX Neck Vertebrae

Species: Tyrannosaurus rex

Species description: One of largest carnivore during the dinosaurs age with 12" corner teeth with roots and up to 49 ft long and 15 ft high that lived in western USA - largest in the United States that ever lived and killed and scavenged prey.

Period: Late Cretaceous Period  70-66.5 MYA

Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation

Geologic location: Buffalo,  S. Dakota

Description and rating: 12 +++ Super Rare FULL TREX NECK VERTEBRAE w/Process & Canal with unbelievable detail. Ask yourself have you ever seen a large neck vertebrae  let alone a TREX. This is definitely a TREX-look at size 17" high and 13" wide at widest point with 8 inch main vertebrae. I have a picture of another TREX to show a series of verts. This ultra rare find was is so massive and the rarest of rare neck vertebrae. It is a beautiful dark brown as an underground find with even the point process at the top. It was very fragile and broken when I received it but with tender loving care and some penetrant sealer it is now very sturdy and a beautiful piece. This is the first one I have ever seen outside a museum. No restore just crack fill and basically complete with just a very small section of right side process not present. Trex frantics will fight over this one and since I collect many TRex items myself including complete Tibia, Fibula, and Metatarsal as well as many others I would not mind at all keeping this one.

I can pack it well to ensure it won't break The shiny color is a generous sealer to protect so it is fine. The processes are not glued on the one vert due to shipping but glue can be provided.

Super Rare Almost 3" Allosaurus Foot Claw

Species: Allosaurus fragilis

Species description: Enormous carnosaur-largest of the Jurassic which weighed 2 tons and stood 15 ft tall. The head had two bony bumps above the eyes and a narrow bony ridge running from between eyes down to tip of snout.

Geographic strata: Morrison Formation

Geographic Period: Late Jurassic - Early Cretaceous 170 -130 MYA

Item location: Bone Cabin Quarry, Carbon County, Wyoming

Item description and rating: 12++ Super RARE Allosaurus Toe Claw (2 15/16"). This claw is my third Allosaurus claw in 6 weeks and I haven't seen one other on any website so any of my claws are  dreams come true for a number of my clients. It is a very nice specimen that is mimimum restoration not like the 2 others I had. One quarter inch on the tip and a ¼" chip on top of claw is all there is from keeping me from saying it’s perfect. So 97% at least original on a toe claw. When I have seen Allosaurus claws they are all hand claws so this is an extra special treat. This came from an area that has found a number of top specimens and I had a 6" sauropod Apatosaurus Brontosaurus claw from here. Color is dark black and perfect shape. With this one you get to have your cake and eat it too with little restoration and toe bones are even rarer than hand claws from what I have seen through the years . In fact this is the first Allosaurus toe claw I have seen and about 20 hand claws through the years. A few of my clients wanted one with little restore so here it is. Recently I saw a 2 ¼" claw sell for $3000 (at least asking price this) for a unidentified Jurassic claw so I believe my price is reasonable.  So step up the the plate on this one.
