Even the incisors are all original teeth, with no repair . It’s the most beautiful cat you will ever find . The Bone quality is magnificent  .This cat is the most highly desired vertebrate fossil in the world due to its resemblance to Smilodon and old age. The upper skull was just outstanding as I saw it before prepped and had everything , and stood out as magnificient pure   shape and completeness including the entire saggital crest .

ORIGINAL BEAUTIFUL MOUNTED OPEN MOUTH RARE METAILURUS MAJOR SABER-TOOTH CAT 8" SKULL

Species: Metailurus major saber-tooth cat

Species description: Sabercat larger than metailurus minor from genus machairodontine saber-tooth cats that belong to tribe metalurini  that lived in Asia and Europe 15-8 MYA. Known as false saber-cat because it had a cross between long flat saber-teeth and shorter cone-shaped teeth of modern felines and many believed it evolved to modern day cheetah. It lived earlier than metailurus minor and while minor lived 9-6 MYA so it lived longer but much rarer to find. I've only seen 2 of these, while minor are the most common saber-tooth cat. It was closely related to dinofelis. Its canines were slightly larger than dinofelis and was very stocky in build . Both cats had forearms more heavily built than the hind limbs.

Item location: Central Asia

Item rating and description: 12 ++  OPEN MOUTH Very Rare Metailurus  Major Saber-cat 8" SKULL with all original Teeth including 2 sabers (original) 1.5" long with incisors and molars. The teeth are really nice with only a slight amount of repair on one molar and a few glued back after breaking . The skull is at least 98 % original with crack fills and back of lower jaws not showing but appears to be in matrix back of zygos. The back of skull is perfect with all attachments including condyles and a beautiful piece in all regards. Few of these can be open mouth due to size so you will never find another anywhere open mouth of these. I did all the prep work for first time on open mouth as I do all closed mouth ones and it appears to have come out great. The color has dark spots, light beige, white and different shades of brown which makes it colorful and such a amazing piece. It fits well on the stand and can be shipped top of skull down even though lower jaw is attached to upper. The zygos are all real and only a dime area in sagittal  crest is restored so what  treat. Sources say these cats are impossible to find now but minors are still much more common and other saber cats but rare overall as only a few % of fossils found are carnivores. All matrix is removed(even eye sockets) except zygos where it is too fragile to expose . The teeth show up very well. MY goal is to get every sabercat in the world in a few years, and Im the one to help you attain that if you wish to do it also . I found one on internet - just the upper - prepped for $5500.  You can't find a nicer more unusual color anywhere and makes this a top notch piece. Minors which are not rare and not open mouth go for what IM asking, and at the same price my other perfect one but not open mouth. It was bought in usa.

Extremely RARE ARBOREAL ANCESTOR TO BOTH CATS AND DOGS  MIACIS 

Species: 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 :

Item Description : WOW  ANCIENT CAT  BEYOND RARE  MIACIS (Which CARNIVORES  EVOLVED FROM ). This is only 4.75 “ 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 2 skulls ever and this is the best found. It would be so ridiculous to even talk about a small amount of restore when this ancient carnivore is probably one of best whole skulls found but in interest of truth an inch of another specimen is probably in back of skull including condyles. This cat has all the lowers and all the teeth except the upper right canine and possibly a few incisors but overall a fantastic original tiny predator that gave us today’s carnivores and most consider the cats the main beneficiary  including saber-tooth’ s quite possibly 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 .

Large 8" Mesohippus Prehistoric Horse w/ Neck Vertebrae

Species: Mesohippus - Prehistoric horse

Species description: About the size of a greyhound with a body 4 ft long, 2 ft high at shoulder and larger than it's predecessor Eohippus, which was only 15" high so this is a large horse at his time 33 MYA and also had 3 toed feet front and behind. It looked like a modern horse except a lot smaller as adult.

Item location: Chaldron, Nebraska

Item description and rating: 12+++ This offering is one-of-a kind. It is the most complete skull of a Mesohippus that you will ever find. It is 8" long and has some neck vertebrae attached. Except for a couple small areas it has all bone and beautifully prepped my myself and finder. This was found by a person in the 1950's and became available to me so this is the first time offered to the public. The color is perfect, bone exceptional and form ideal. This is an large sized adult animal and a fantastic representation of the species. I've seen these animals in worse condition go for $3500-$4000 at auction so grab this one up before it's gone.

X-Large Rarest of Rare Allosaurus 95% original 6" Hand Claw

Species: Allosaurus fragilis

Species description: Largest Therapod Meat Eating Jurassic dinosaur ever often reaching up to 35 ft long Of as long as a bus. Its large skull with movable joints in the skull allowed it to bite huge bites to devour its prey which included the largest of sauropods often reaching over 70 ft long. It did hunt in groups and was probably the greatest predator that ever lived even greater than TREX. It had a S-shaped bulldog neck and each powerful arm having 3 clawed fings and one large one only. These did not rejuvenate as teeth did. It weighed 2 tons at least . Allosaurus hands were way bigger than TREX.

Geological strata: Morrison Formation

Geological period: Late Jurassic 172-140 MYA

Item location: Buckshot Quarry, Buckshot Subdivision, Moffat County, Colorado Found by Robert Witherell in 1995

Item description and rating: 12 ++++ ++++ Unbelieveable X- Rare Large Allosaurus Hand Claw. 95% original. This Great claw was only recently prepped after being found over 14 years ago, and is so beautiful and almost perfect. This is the best quality claw of 6 allosaurus claws I had this year and no one now has any allosaurus claws for sale anywhere and this is my 6th this year. I have another also. This is only for top collectors who want to have a large rare claw. It truly is so nice it is a dream come true for me and now for you. Again as a few other items, If not sold I will gladly keep it. I only ever had one better than 85% before. One side only on tip for ½ has some small restore while other side is perfect. The ½ tip and one small ½ inch section on same side in middle keeps it from being totally original . The other side while no restore does have some wear towards back of claw. Even the greatest eye cannot detect the restored areas as only surface area is affected not thru the width of the claw -as it is all there . No reason to say anything else except a recent one that was 6.5 inches long with 2.5" of tip restored on both sides went for $6000 at auction just in case you don’t know values. This claw should get $8500 but you can get it for less per inch than a TREX which goes for $1300 and who ever saw a TREX hand claw over 5 inches. Under one thousand per inch again. Whoever purchases this will have a copy of one selling with 35% restored for $6000.

Imagine an animal this big that has one bone frill 33" inches long This piece is extremely nice showing all the ungulations and frill markings just as though the animal lived yesterday. It is super in color-brown , shape, length, curvature and bone quality texture. The bone quality and color is second to none Ive ever seen. IT is so beautiful and the most top notch bone I ever had. It was not broken in nature but due to small area that was not aligned it was removed and placed where the bone was aligned perfectly thru a delicate operation. This is the biggest Frill piece I ever had . The last back incomplete frill sold for $1400 not even ½ as nice as this one. Wow what a piece so only top collectors need apply for this one. It is very stable and should never break.
