MONSTER 8.5" Machairodus Saber-Cat Saber with Root

Species: Machairodus Giganteus – Largest  True Saber-tooth Cat Ever

Species description:  Largest Saber-tooth Cat of all time (Bigger than Smilodon) with male members reaching  17-18" long and over 1 ½ times the size of a Bengal Tiger. They hunted in groups  and were the most powerful killer of all time  with large heads and 5 inch sabers from Europe, Africa and Asdia  or then Eurasia.

Geographical Area: 15-2 MYA Miocene - Pliocene

Item location:  Hezheng County, Gansu Providence, China

Item description & rating:  12++ Unbelieveably Monster Huge 8.5"  Asian Smilodon  Machairodus  Saber with Root  95% original with Nice Tip and Nice Enamel. This is second  largest Mach Saber I've ever seen out of the skull.  5 ¼" of it is Saber (Rest root) so this one is Huge and it is 1 ¾" wide. IT has a number of some crack fills which all do and small amount  of restore  but was finished prepped by myself and it came out well. Serrations and color are quite good, and I doubt I will ever find a bigger one. Remember the largest Smilodon tooth ever found with root was 12 inches which I had earlier this year.  This is for a top collector who doesn't need perfection but a very good quality MONSTER TOOTH.

Very Nice Large Ferocious Extinct Creodont (Half Dog-Cat) from the Oligocene 23 MYA

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: Pennington  County , S Dakota

Item rating and description: 12 The Extinct  2nd Largest Carnivore  Oligocene 13" Hyaenodon Skull with Beautiful Red Coloration. This piece shows the vicious nature and size of one of two Oligocene Animals that could kill any animal on the plains. It has very good teeth with all original except the front upper teeth , deep red texture which is rare, and super lowers with only part of back restored. The originality is hard to determine but entire upper middle is original plus many other areas. It was very well prepped and a must for any collection. While my 15" specimen was a little better and sold for $4900 this specimen is a nice representation of the species, it is offered at a super price so someone can save and still have a nice specimen. Again no perfectionist  I will sell this to as some restore is on the piece by but limited and done well . Only the terrible pig was more vicious than this critter at this time. There were 4 species and this is the biggest by far. It is on a nice display and you will love this specimen. 

BEAUTIFUL ULTRA X RARE HOMOTHERIUM Adult SABER-TOOTH CAT SABER

Species: HOMOTHERIUM Crenatidens

Species description: This cat evolved from Machairodus and appeared at Miocene-Pliocene border about 5 MYA and lived in Africa as well as Euroasia and dies out lastly in Asia and North America about 10,000 years ago so it was highly successful. It was a scimitar cat built like a modern lion that had about a 13"-14" skull but much longer teeth called sabers. It was larger than average saber-tooth cat that was very successful yet hardly ever found in fossil records. Complete skeletons have only been found in Texas and of this animal complete skeletons in Asia have never been found and only a few skulls.The sabers per head size are smaller than other the big cats. It preyed on wooly mammoths as found out in Texas. IT looks like a meg however much shorter sabers and less sized lower saber guard and sabers reached to end of lower jaw as this one does. It reached 1.1 meters at shoulder. As said compared to megantereon, smilodon, and machairodotus its sabers were relatively short but still they are nice sized sabers. It provided a great puncturing and gripping force . The skull was longer than smilodon. This jaw had down-turned forward flanges to protect the scimitars . It large canine teeth were crenulated and designed for slashing rather than purely stabbing . Some of the physical appearances were unusual for a big cat as it had limbs that gave the homotherium a hyena like appearance. The forelegs were elongated while hind legs were rather squat with feet planti-grade causing back to slope down towards a short tail. It had a large nasal square nasal opening like a cheetah which allowed quicker oxygen intake with brain visual cortex large and allowed it to hunt during the day instead of night like many cats. It lived 5 million years longer than megantereon. It hunted in packs and not only killed mammoths but also rhinoceros juveniles.

Formation: Longdan Formation

Geographical Area: Miocene-Pliocene border to middle of Pleistocene in America and Asia. This one is Early Pleistocene

Item Location: Gansu Providence, Northern Central China-Dongxiang

Item description & rating: 14+++ X Ultra RARE Beautiful Adult Homotherium Scimitar Saber-Tooth Cat Saber 4" long around the curve and wide. First this is so rare I only know of one more in existence in America based on information from the top two authorities in the Country :DR. Larry Martin fossil cat expert at the University of Kansas , and John Babiarz (The most knowledgeable cat collector in the world with the largest collection in the world - he owns the other). This is an adult homotherium saber that is all original with 1% repair. Serrations and enamel are simply stunning with only one small few mm area close to tip where cat wore them down. How do I know this is homtherium for sure? It is the only cat with longitudinal enamel crenulations (subtle ridges) , Machs and all other cats have latitudinal ridges forming subtle expanding rings as you go down the length. Homos are like crocodiles and Spinosaurus. Anyway I really don't want to sell this but show each of you about this rare beauty. Homotheriums are over 100 times rarer than the big Machs. They looked like a lion in many ways but larger.

Fine Old Dinictis Saber-Tooth Cat w/ Original Sabers

Species: Dinictis squalidens Saber-Cat

Species description: The long-legged dinicis 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 solidary predators hunting an abundant food supply of grazing ungulates including camels amd oredonts. 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

Geological period: 40 MYA-23 MYA

Item location: Pennington County, S Dakota

Item rating and description: 11 Fine Large Adult Dinictis Saber-Tooth Cat Skull that is est. at 65-70% real bone including over 90% of teeth real which includes both sabers and all larger incisiors. The bottom jaw is really almost all bone. Most of incisors are real with some from other dinictis cats at same location. It is professionally prepped beautifully and no one can distinquish restore . It is a very good example of the first saber-cat ever who outlived all other saber-cats so was really successful. All molars top and bottom are original teeth with top of skull the main area of restore.This cat really is a beaut and large. I have the largest one ever found also coming on but this is large. The sabers are 1¾" and normal sized with nice incisors overall also. Do yourself a favor and pick up a real saber-cat economically.

Wow Extinct Rarer than Smilodon Giant American Lion Lower Jaw-Larger than Bengal Tiger

Species: Panthera Atrox (Giant American Lion)

Species description: Extinct Largest Species of Lion ever to exist a full 25% larger10-12 feet and 840 Lbs closely resembling the current species in Africa. It was the largest carnivore except the Giant short-faced bear which are virtually nonexistent in the fossil records. It was much larger than the Smilodon Saber-tooth cat. There has been 100 specimens in La Brae found but only a handful elsewhere.

Geological strata: Pleistocene Epoch

Geological period: 1.8 MYA - 10,000yrs ago

Item location: Eagle River, Yukon River in Yukon Territories in Alaska in a Gold Mine.

Item rating and description: 12+++++++ WOW?? Rarer than Smilodon Largest US Pleistocene Predator Ever Perfect Giant American Lion Lower One Sided Jaw with all Teeth . With my desire for only the extreme rare ITEMS, I have to admit I outdid myself this time. This is an unreal find but perfect with all teeth perfect and the entire jaw with no restore protected by the Yukon permafrost for at least 10,000 years. This animal is much rarer than Smilodon which complete skulls if you can find one go for $300,000. You get one quarter of the animal for only the middle 6 thousand range, and I have never seen one for sale before. Many paleontologists never have seen this one either and the last one at auction went for $295,000 just a year ago so you don't even have to be in the big leagues for this one. This is simply too amazing for words so here are the pics. This is like selling an entire Smilodon lower jaw so what are you waiting for.
