Amazing Rare 30 MYA Green Hyaenodon Creodont Carnivore Juvenile Skull becoming an AdultSpecies: 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 Miocene 23 MYA Item location: Badlands of Western S. Dakota Item description and rating: 13 0n 1-12 Beautiful Perfect Rare Green Largest 30 MYA Juvenile Hyeanodon horridus Skull with Teeth Morphology. What a Vicious Rare Carnivore - The Extinct Largest Species Oligocene 11" Hyaenodon Skull which a was a juvenile during the Oligocene Period that got to 15" when an adult. This animal has an unusual tooth morphology because as it was growing many of its adult teeth while losing others, which is the reason a few teeth sockets are dry and a few have 2 types of teeth. All of the teeth are original and the quality of bone is impeccable intact and who has ever seen a green Hyeanodon - color almost unheard of. Anyway this is of the same quality as the other species hyeanodon at the site and is so awe inspiring. Here is a collection item you can enjoy forever here on my website. Since I can't put in words how lovely this animal is and having a triple magnificence of green color, teeth morphology, only a fortune can purchase this animal. |

Ultra Rare Best-of-Best Saurolophus Hadrosaur Asian EGG NESTSpecies: Saurolophus angustirostres Species description: Large 35 ft Herbivore that was a favorite target of Tarbosaurus 18' tall with flat-head . It had a huge battery of Chisel-like teeth designed to grind plants only 10 skulls and 1 skeleton found. These are much rarer in fossil records than other hadrosaurs and eggs of these dinosaurs are rarely found. Geologic strata: Kaoguo Formation Geologic timeframe: 70-66.5 MYA Item Location: Upper Asia –Xixan Basin, Henan Providence, China Item rating and description: 12++++ Rare Perfect World's Best 4 EGG NEST Hadrosaur Saurolophus 12" Diameter Eggs. This is an amazing 4 eggs with almost perfection with total shell on 3 of eggs and one 90% egg shell This by far is without a doubt the best egg nest I ever saw. It came from a China expert who had it in his collection for 15 years until he had to sell. One of you will be very lucky. Its light gray color is highly unusual and normally the species of hadrosaur is unknown but the previous owner said due to rareness and color since Saurolophus eggs are so rare and had only a few in his lifetime it is highly believed this was the species. For those of you that must have perfection this is the one and it is suspected to have further remains inside. I will not guarantee this but it obviously had no eggs hatched and when preserved this pure it also preserves all that is within well also IM so enamored with this nest it was a much to add and the best eggs at this year's Tucson show by far . It was a natural egg placement on matrix which is rare, and also actually a great price. While I had to pay a premium it was worth it, but still if you multiply by 4 my top premium egg just sold it is less than that and nests are compounded in value. IT is totally prepped by an expert and I doubt you would ever find a better nest as I perused 30 nests at the show. Anyway the pictures will prove what I say - What SPECIAL EGGS!!!!!! Most of these if found are in Mongolian but not this one. |

Very powerful and massively built dinosaur which hunted solitary. It easily downed its prey with quick surprise attacks. Period: Late Cretaceous Period 70-66.5 MYA Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation Geologic location: NW South Dakota at a private ranch with their permission Item Description and rating: 12+++. Beautiful X-Large 4 ½" TREX Hand Claw from a very Large Adult. It is in excellent shape and the largest Hand claw I have ever had and seen . I had 2 other 3.5 inch hand claws which sold quickly. The tip is not sharp but present just worn from natural wear I believe due to size of claw. This TREX was one of biggest that ever roamed the earth. Remember the oldest ever found was Sue at 29 years old and this animal was probably older. A picture of this was sent to Black Hills Institute and Pete Larsen - resident top paleontologist and confirmed it was a large TREX. Due to size it actually could be nothing else. This is a rare opportunity to own a huge claw with nice detail and grooves with the back articulation point in pristine condition, and the color is dark grey and magnificent. These go for $1300 an inch but this one only $1000 per inch. |

Well Over 1/2 Of an Entire Pteranodon Wing with 8 Complete BonesSpecies: Pteranodon longiceps Species Description: Flying reptile that lived during dinosaurs that had a wingspan of up to 23 ft and other species over 30 ft. It had tooth beaks with a semi-upright stance and had a diet of fish and had a skull crest so distinctive of species. Geological strata: Niobrara Formation Geographical timeframe: Cretaceous 83 MYA Item location: Smoky Hill, Gove County, Kansas Item description and rating: 12+ Super Rare Large Part of an Entire Pteranodon wing with 8 complete bones with membranes on wings. The list includes Phalanx I-IV, 2 Fused Carpals, Pteriod and radius arm bone. All bones put together go over 45" long so this entire wing would have been over 70 inches long in life. This animal was not a large adult yet look at size of one over ½ one side of entire wing. These creatures were majestic. I I have never seen such a large portion of bird-like flying reptile before and it is exciting. Some of items namely phalanx IV and period are in matrix and all others are out. It is totally prepped A whole pteranodon is impossible to buy and if one existed it would go for a million dollars so why not buy well over one half a entire wing with 8 complete bones for a lot less. I did not glue this on the display yet but will provided the buyer wants it done or ease of shipping with directions of how to glue. I may sell this by part if it does not sell early but by buying all you get a huge discount as shown below of prices. This is so nice I actually hope no one buys this piece so I’m able to appreciate it for many years. It comes with display board and all literature about each piece of bone and membrane. |

This animal was one of first ones found at least 10 years ago and at that time they had complete ribs. This has been in my collection for many years and did not want to sell it . You will not find a better juvenile on bone quality. The mount is absolutely fantastic and doesn't even compare to ones that are highly restored being sold . When I got this one the Chinese never even knew of restoration. I bought it here in US and has always been a prized possession. It is mounted in a beautiful case which comes with it. It needs to be picked up and not mailed due to delicate nature but it has never broke. I won't sell this unless I get full price so no room here. It was expertly done by a friend. The pics do the talking in this one. What a treat!! |
