Item rating and description: 12+++  Gorgeous Large 85% plus  Hoplophoneus  Saber-Cat  Skull  8¼" long with 2.5" Sabers. This cat was described by my top prepper as the best one I ever had, as he has done 8 this year for me . All have sold. I agree it is one of my best, and the best upper, and one side of a lower jaw I definitely ever had .The sabers are huge 2.5", real and repaired in middle with slight 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 upper skull is at least 98% original with only a small area of one zygo restored. The teeth have almost all original teeth with some repair and restore on tips. The lower jaw on one side was 95% complete, and the other had some restore. Some of teeth and jaw came from another animal that matched perfectly. Even the incisors are almost all real teeth, just repaired on ends . 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. This is one I won’t mind keeping, but it can be yours. An animal this good should go for $10,000, as I've seen many sell for thru the years. I will not discount a pure beauty in nature. You rarely find them this big but here it is. I have more pics if you need it.
