AMAZING Large Heavy ONE-OF-KIND EXTINCT JAVAN HIPPOPOTAMUS SPECIES(Est 1-1.5MYA)Amazing Large One -of- Kind Extinct Javan Hippopotamus Est 1-1.5 MYA Species : Believed to be Hippopotamus sivalensis sivajavanicus However one of a kind
Description : These originally had ancestors 55 Million years ago which evolved to similar hippos of today 35 million years ago originally in Europe and then Africa then ASia . The earliest known of this species found (only parts and sections-this is only know complete skull ) was 1.5 Million years ago in same area Javan man is discovered which is 1 million years old . Aside from elephants and rhinos , hippos are the largest land mammal IT is also the largest extant land artidactyl. Deespite their physical resemblance to pigs and other even-toed ungulates they are closely related to cetaceans like whales and diverged on land 55 million years ago. Hippos have barrel shaped torsos, wide opening mouths with large canine Tusks with almost complete hairless bodies and weigh about 3300 lbs IT is capable of running 19 miles per hour over short distances and are the most deadly animal in wild -responsible for more deaths of humans than crocodiles or tigers in Africa . ON modern hippos called H. amphibius only 67 survive in Java with some in W, E, Congo and Cape Africa . Close to extinction in Java . These were smaller species so approximately 2000 lbs (1 ton) so still huge Geological Age : Early Pleistocene Fauna) found with Trinil Tiger and Stegodon that has this age also Item area found : Area known for Java Man Trinil on Banks of Solo River in East Java (This species also found a few partials in West Java . This one was earliest known species with man as all other areas earliest known like Europe and Africa is 160,000 years ago . Only a few parts like a palate with incisors and a few other pieces and one upper found before this Description and Rating 10 This is a find of a lifetime . It’s the only known entire skull of an extinct Javan Hippo of this species that exists. The Skull is 23 inches long with incisors and 21 inches without and the width is almost 14 inches. The upper had lots of iron embedded in boneand on bone and it was cleaned off with a resulting reddish dark brown color .This is the only known complete set. As I said these actually have cetacean relatives(whales) but went to land 55 million into off shoots of current hippos so they are older than all large mammals except with exception of rhinos . This is so amazing and is the oldest species known as well as only skull of that species . NO one has this and it’s in great condition. IT has some wear as due to age and a hard mineral formed in skull mostly iron and had to be removed just like a Jurassic dinosaur. While highly mineralized on outside which shows age alot time. It would be great to have a skull of Java man as a lifelong dream but just not available . 4 Canine Tusks are present, with all side teeth plus many of incisors. Only 1 incisor restored. There is a little resto around the nasal area, inside one zygo for an inch and a few spots with repair on crack fills but it’s at least 97% complete. Upper and lower skull is amazing . Anyway I had to show you this nonexistent but here piece . $27, 499 Value One of A Kind Valueless Todays estimated $30,000 call with questions 706-235-2694 Only wire accepted |

They are amazing and total length around the curve of both over 10 ft . Nothing in the world except my American Lion is more special than these piece.

Species: MUSKOX-Ovibus moshatus
Species description: Pleistocene Muskox are noted for its thick coat and for strong odor emitted by the males was scattered throughout the Urals to Greenland, but after the Pleistocene its range was only in the USA . It was a contemporary with the wooly mammoth . It was able to survive the extinction event due to finding ice-free areas away from prehistoric peoples .These horns are very representative of the species .Today they have been reintroduced in Europe and Siberia .
Geological strata: 200,000 years ago through today
Item location: Yukon, Alaska This age is well documented at 30,000 years old so while still same species it is a Pleistocene fossil which you can tell from darkness
Item rating and description: 1-10 9 This is an Amazing Pleistocene upper Skull with Horns Partial Horns 18” Long and 10.5”wide .This is so rare my Alaskan contact said he only ever one other one. This one is from Alaska and while they are still there this is a Pleistocene one shown by the dark, dark color. Anyway it was so amazing even though it’s an upper Its amazing because all teeth are present which never happens until now. That’s why I bought it plus the 100% natural skull . For those skull lovers even though it exists today not Pleistocene skulls. The teeth are similar to buffalo but few are found .The upper is quite complete except the upper nasal area . The horns are truly amazing –not equal size. You can’t view this fossil like all the rest as hardly any fossil remains exist for sale. Since hardly any teeth are ever found as the skulls themselves, this piece is a real trophy fossil piece . Anyway I was told this piece was worth 8,000 with no teeth so I decided to sell it at half price firm for some lucky collector who wants something no one else has in the fossil world. Here are the pics. You can’t find one of these and if you ever did no teeth and a $6000 price tag THis is 30,000 years old Unheard of so here is something you won't see again .

The color of Darker reddish Brown is just gorgeous. The skull is has lowers with all original teeth all real and perfect , so lowers are just amazing with only some resto on backs of lower . This is rare . The upper had perfect top, back and only some resto in front as this is onlyr teeth restored on entire animal . I love this skull. Mesohippus has become fairly rare as I saw only 2 and purchased them so prices have risen a lot . The lower jaw is 95% original with even real incisors which is unheard of. All teeth are original to this animal which also is rare . They don’t get better than this and the color is so appealing.. I’ve had some but this is amazing quality. I do have another one same top premium . Its been awhile . My last one went for 5500. The quality you just can’t get this good. Bone quality is amazing. Its such a pretty darker color for this area. It was found close to Indian land but on private property of a rancher . I’ve been to this location before and amazing quality is what you get. All other teeth on both sides are not only complete but amazing quality with no repairs. So I have some great ones . Anyway great price on magnificently displayed horse on wooden display . All horses were small at this time but this is a big one. Just one glance I had to have it as it is so outstanding. IT displays well. I priced it to sell quickly as this will sell so fast my head will spin. This is an adult horse and second in line after Eohippus . I’ve only seen a few last 3 years . Only from earlier collections anymore. None being found now . These are hard to get original like this. Most have entire front restored due to saber cat attacks as that is how they were killed . I will not take less for this as I will gladly keep it. Why discount top premium items any more than I already did. These all go for over 5000 now wholesale as demand has grown and supply limited . I bought the only 2 I saw at Tucson show this year 2022. Take your choice of 2 . I have Great deal at
