If you look at a whole it’s so nice to look at here AS I said its gorgeous. Some of incisors are restored and rest of teeth all original. They don’t get better than this and a gray color is simply awesome . I’ve had some but this one of best ever . Its been awhile. My last one went for 4500 years ago . 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 .

Special Fossil-100% Original -A ULtra Rare Pleistocene Muskox Upper Skull with Teeth & Horns 18” LongSpecial Fossil 100% Original –A Ultra Rare Pleistocene Muskox Upper Skull with Horns 18” Long x 11” Wide
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 .
Price 3999 Firm Only paid by check and wire so call 706-235-2694 One of kind again
