Some incisors  -larger ones also real with some restored on upper and lower . It had some repairs due to some crushing but came out so great . This is the only one at Tucson show this year and normally I get 4-5 cats . None were found last year at all of This cat appears so great . Every cat I get from this area from one person sells so fast due to quality of cat. It’s amazing  You just cant get 2 sabers real anymore from the same animal as this one so it is special .You won’t see a better quality cat anymore. The lower jaw is original to this cat also which is rare. They are so hard to get anymore.  The teeth are so appealing and love the bone also.  Incisors are almost never real and many of these are on top and bottom. Sabers are so beautifully prepped and brown colored. On upper only a little on zygos are restored with a few spot fills and condyles   On lower only one side at top of back except spot fills is restored which is amazing .

This is only one I have .  I have more pics if you need it.   Cats have gone up a lot so here it is. Every year they appreciate more also so great investment. This species is rare also  Look at those sabers long and wide .  These have risen alot for us to purchase and no one has them for sale anymore so demand is high and supply is almost nonexistent  Not this time as Ive sold many with 1 saber at this price . SO better quality at better price .

Beautiful Amazing Highly 98%Original Dinictis Skull Saber-tooth Cat w Skeleton w All Original Teeth Incl Incisors

Beautiful Amazing  Dinictis Sabertooth Cat Skeleton w Skull with all Original Teeth 

Species:    Dinictis squalidens Saber- Cat

Species description:   The long –legged dinictis 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 solitary predators hunting an abundant food supply of grazing ungulates including camels  and oreodonts . Using their highly developed saber-teeth they would likely sever the blood supply in the neck of their prey in the initial attack. Most skulls  were about 7.5 inches long

Geological strata: Upper Nodular Zone , Scenic Member  Brule Formation-early Dinictis

Geological period:  35-34 MYA Orellan 

Item location: Private Land Directly from Landowner in Custer County , South Dakota  

Item rating and description: 1-10  9.7   SIMPLY THE BEST DINICTIS SABERCAT SKULL (98%) with Complete Skeleton . My breath is taken away with this skeleton of a Dinictis American Sabercat I’ve had for awhile unprepped but now its prepped and beautiful .  The measurements of base are 49” long, x 12” wide, and 24” high  with body all within these measurements . Cat length is within but curved due to spine and tail so over 49” .The skull is the best I ever saw at over 97% original  with some repairs with only a small upper back of one lower jaw restored some of sagittal crest and zygomatic arches repaired  and 2 full real  sabers. Never saw a skull this good ever on American sabercats    The skull is about 7 inches long . All teeth are original even the incisors are almost all there and none restored .The sabers are 1 ¾ “ normal for this Dinictis.   This is rare as it’s an early dinictis so not real large which we expect for this species .   All but one of inner leg bones arm and leg  is real bone -main bones of any cat besides the  skull. They started small. I never saw an USA skull this original. The skeleton after thorough review and talks with the prepper  is a combination  of cast and real bone. Ribs were too fragile so we had to use casts for those. There are about 6 whole  vertebrate with parts of others on neck , dorsals and tail  so a fair amount  casts but many at least partials  . The feet are mostly real bones with even ½ sheaths and claws real bone with scapula and pelvic bones partial real but mostly casts . IT has a rod thru the spinal column for stability and new great way to mount . Original bones with arms  wrists original  and with feet the larger bones including feet real with some  ankle area bones casts.  Even ½ of claws are original. All original teeth is absolutely unheard of for a cat IN USA . And as far as total skeleton bone composition  by length since inner main bones all whole and real -Id estimate 70% of skeleton is original . So combined you have with 98% skull you have an amazing creature on display easy to assemble

  Its mounted in a modern way with little stand showing and its EVER SAW . A rod is thru the spinal column thru first and last vert.   It doesn’t get any better than this cat also have searched for 8 years for perfection only to be denied , but not this time . This cat has everything- beautiful color, all original teeth, perfect sabers, skull with almost every square inch original and a pose where you can see all teeth upper and lower.  Most cats are no more than 60 % including head but head is an amazing 97% at least 

It is really something special.  They just don’t come like this cat, and took years to get ready thru mounting. I had to have it and you will feel the same after looking at the pics. This worth so much but can’t sell it yet. Ill take offers but will not sell for a few years.  True value about $75-80,000  but seen many not this good for much more.

Can't sell it now  but call 706-235-2694 as Ill take offers and  timing but cant guarantee Id sell it  

Splendid High Quality Rarest of Oligocene Sabercats 9.5” PogonodonSkull w 6 Verts w Atlas

Splendid High Quality Rarest of USA Oligocene Sabercats 9.5” Pogonodon Skull w Verts& Atlas Species: Pogonodon cismontamus(Platycopis) Saber- Cat Skull 82-85% Species description: One of earliest Nimravidae endemic to North America and Eurasia .A Nimravid saber-tooth cat that roamed North America beginning in the Oligocene Period 30.8MYA -7.2MYA . 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 and oreodonts . Using their highly developed saber-teeth they would likely sever the blood supply in the neck of their prey in the initial attack. Their sabers are smaller than a Dinictis normally but not this specimen as shown with this specimen and estimated weight was around 70 lbs . This fossil is so rare it has little written about it .It lived at least 23.6 Million years This specimen is so big the sabers are much bigger than a Dincitis, and one of rarest fossils on earth Geological strata: Uppermost Brule Formation Just below uppermost nodules in the White Zone Just at bottom of Sharps Formation Geological period: 32-24 MYA This one 32-30 MYA –Top of Layers so a later more advanced one - Item location: White River Badlands -Shannon County , S Dakota Item Rating & Details :1-10 10 To have two of the rarest of Oligocene cats -a Pogonodon Skull is so amazing when I have had 2 total in 25 years as the catman. It also has 6 neck verts including an atlas that is so appealing. The color is so great darker tan which is so unusual. This is one of most greatest finds in America in the Sabercat world. This one is darker, and just so magnificent. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. The rareness of this cat plus the high quality make this the ones Ill remember most even though I’ve had hundreds of cats over 25 years. It’s a POGONODON HIGHLY ORIGINAL SABER-TOOTH CAT that has such high actually bone quality . The molars. premolars and carnasials are original however,the upper and lower front teeth are casted with a few repaired. I have sold many cats but these 2 take the cake. What makes this such a great find is originality of the bone skull is an amazing 95% and these just aren’t found. All the teeth are pleasing even though some casted. On a Dinictis or Hoplo that effects value but not near as much on an animal that is huge for Oligocene cats and so rare only a few have been found. It has been IDed by a knowledgeable authority as well as myself who has been around the cat world. Keep in mind other sabercats of this timeframe are much smaller by a few inches . If you get a 60% one your excited and that has extreme value . I recently sold a Nimravus not as rare for $20 thousand and not as big by far. The prep work was fantastic as it is exceptionally done . The zygos are even real and well as almost all the upper except small section in back of worth just a little restored . The lowers are amazing even with most of back original. The color, shape and rareness is just unmatched and have only seen a few of these my entire life. I have one in my collection but this I still hate to sell but will if price is right I will WHAT A Great cat. A LIFETIME KEEPER and one of a few that exist including museums. BONE QUALITY unmatched anywhere I know of only the 2 I have now for sale . These are believed to be developed from the dinictis genus which is the smallest of the American cats but just look at this one. To get one with an atlas and 5 other neck verts attached on a display is so awesome . Price $24,995 (Great price for a great cat that has 6 verts attached call 706-235-2694 Only paid by wire or checks

Top Quality 98% Plus Original  BEAUTIFUL Smilodon Forerunner  MEGANTEREON   SABER-TOOTH CAT Huge 11” x 5” SKULL w 5” Sabers Yeah 5 inch 

Species : Megantereon  cultridens 

Species description : . Built like a modern jaguar but heavier. It had stocky forearms with the lower half of these forelimbs lion-sized. It delivered a shearing bite with 5 “ sabers . Per size of skull it had the largest sabers per head area of any saber-tooth cat. It originated in North America 4.5 MYA AND EUROPE &ASIA  . This cat was the forerunner to the American Smilodon .Fossils are found here .  In fact an entire skeleton was found in France  and mostly found in ASia  

Geographical Area: 2.5-2 Million years ago –this fossil –Overall  Species 15-2 MYA Miocene –Pliocene

Item location:   Asia 

 Item description & rating: 1-10  9.9    THIS IS ONE-OF-A Kind Sabercat 11 " Long like a Smilodon(same size)  . This is the closest sabercat to a Smilodon and looks much like it in every way . Sabers are huge just not quite as big as Smilodons   Unbelievable OF HIGHEST QUALITY Smilodon-like Saber –tooth Cat Large for species . Many people do not know this cat due to rareness but this saber  cat is my favorite due to size of skull per saber size . Smilodon are just as large on skull but the  only one bigger on sabers by a few inches. SO you get a great quality cat for way less than a  Smilodon.  This cat was in my collection but now it can be yours .

     The upper, lowers, and teeth are basically all original with even few repairs. It’s one of best you will ever see. It has some distortion which is typical for these cats which means nothing to me except it’s so original the prepper didn’t even want to fix it thru air expansion . Even though lowers are  original to this cat.   The 5“ is much larger than  any other cat except Smilodon  for even the Largest of all sabercats called  Machairdous – and  all real perfect  teeth. The sabers are amazing(  5”) as said and all original with a few even break repairs. These are so rare but I got 2  from the same area after 12 years of having none.  I doubt if I’ll see any again . Even backs of lowers are almost perfect bone and zygos -areas of restore normally.  

   These are so rare so IM lucky to have this. I had one 15 years ago on top of a horse and fell in love with species then. It was forerunner to Smilodon .The teeth again are 100% original with little or no repair. The only flaw if you can call it that is a small distortion due to pressure on one zygomatic arch . I’m the cat guy and only had a few of these over 20 years and I only get the best. I had not even seen one in 7 years before these 3.  These are found in USA as piece material and in France, and Asia  . It has been here many years unprepped and finally finished as I bought in USA. The bone is super color with mostly beige -white which is normal. The teeth are so magnificent and beautiful and all there. It’s just amazing and the size is normal  for this cat. It’s just as big as a Smilodon in USA but much cheaper too when I decide to sell . Few cats I've had of any species that are this good . IM not sure if female or male as males get a little larger but do believe it’s the larger male . I study cats and know them like a book and have the top expert in the world as a friend .  It may be in the top 10 of all these ever found in quality. Values a have grown a lot.  These are never this good so a real treat. Prep was done superbly. Pictures do not do this cat justice at all. You will never see this again and with  Highest Quality  . Simply Amazing Find . This could go for a hundred thousand but not here.  Behold the huge meg  with the largest sabers other than Smilodon on the planet  .  Christies told me personally this is worth 150,000 with them but I don't like auction houses . So why pay 300,000 for a Smilodon you will never see anyway when you can get this similar cat for an amazing. This is your only chance to get in my opinion the most beautiful sabercat .

ONE-OF KIND Magnificient Quality Adult Female HOMOTHERIUM SABER-Tooth CAT Skull 13 inches w Great Sabers

ONE-OF-KIND Magnificient Quality Adult HOMOTHERIUM SABER-TOOTH CAT  Skull 13” w Both Huge Sabers (Rarest of Rare)

  Species : HOMOTHERIUM crenatidens(Latidens)

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 died 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” 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 France and  Asia have never been found and only a few skulls .The sabers per head size are a little smaller than other the big cats. It preyed on wooly mammoths as found out in Texas. IT looks like a megantereon 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 wider than a meganeteon but mnot quite as long  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 megatereon. It hunted in packs and not only killed mammoths but also rhinoceros juveniles.

 Location: Origin   Euroasia

Item description & rating:   1-10   9.8 ON Rareness and Quality  X- Ultra RARE Beautiful  Adult Homotherium  Scimitar Saber-Tooth Cat Skull 13” that is so Beautiful with amazing spotted black, beige with brown .  It is amazing on quality . All teeth are original to this cat with only repairs. Its over 90% original closer to 95% estimated  with  a slight distortion which is typical . This is so rare-Ive had one on in 30 years . Keep in mind each tooth alone due to rareness is worth 2000, and sabers are fantastic all original and 3 9/16th” long and 1 ¼” inches wide(very wide for a cat). The sabers alone are worth 10,000 each at least.  The skull is highly original also well over 90% with upper great with some on zygos and palate . The sagittal crest almost always has worth resto but not this one. Lowers have a small section at very back restored and rest is all real and not even repaired on both sides . Now this is the only one that exists for sale to private collectors  known .  This was unprepped for 35 years in a very old collection, and I recently purchased it to prep after all these years . It comes on a nice heavy metal display for firmness and show. I have wanted a whole one for years and the opportunity was afforded from a friend who is also the top expert on these creatures, and this will be admired by me & ones who read this.  Only a small number were found in a Texas cave ,and 2 in Florida and a handful in China and Europe have been found .  I would say no more than 10 exist in the world and I’ve had 2 of them .So this is one of rarest cats in the world and you won’t see another one . I owned one years ago and sold it to a  friend 5 years ago.  The great thing about this species it is a form of crenatidens but a different unclassified species that needs researched even more so we can safely say only a few of this exist . AS someone who knows a little on cats(who wrote a  book on these cats) said the species is close to be Xenosmilus, but different so no species has been classified as of this date .Anyway so rare it is not a labeled known species as of yet so under crenatidans for now .  This just doesn’t come along so for true collectors of sabercats this section is a must .  The sabers are amazingly good ,.   You’ll love this one as I do if you know cats. These from these cats just aren’t available. This goes to some great collector who wants a one-of-a kind cat, and wants a high quality one . I would venture to say you will never see another. I’ve sold cats for 20 years and this is my second(did have a baby one though ) and I’ve gotten all I’ve seen .Id keep this but IM retiring so decided to sell my great collection .
