Geographical Area:  15-2 MYA Miocene –Pliocene

Item location:  EUROASIA 

  Item description & rating: 1-10   9.8 w  Rare Top Premium Unbelievable Size at  15.5  x 8” & Highest Quality  SABER-TOOTH Cat Called Asian Smilodon.  The sabers are wide and an amazing 4.75 inches long which is 3/4 inch larger than almost all of them. What is special it has only a little rest on one lower side and a little on back of skull, and a little on zygos. Many times these have resto for a large section on back of lowers but not this one. It’s a highly desirable  saber cat with huge sabers and high quality and nice shaped cat. I only get the best I can, and these are so hard to find anymore. I’ve sold many and this is in top 10%. The teeth are all original(100%) to this cat with sabers just magnificent quality.   So quality , size, color and shape are just amazing and consider this excellent.  This has been in USA for 35 years waiting to be prepped-  found by a farmer about the same time. It was acquired by someone else from a person here in USA and recently prepped.  The bone is super alternating color with beige throughout. It was done by the best prepper in the world as I always do . Pictures do not do this cat justice at all. This piece will be displayed at many events for true appreciation. If you want to talk about it please call 706-235-2694. Available for museums.  Great ones are so hard to get anymore. What’s great is it’s the same price one went for 5 years ago since it was purchased cheaper . NO one can get these now anymore, and if I can get one more that’s it for me.  All have been prepped as I know everyone , and sellers cant buy them that way . They would cost more than this one.  At auctions these used to go w going over 50,000  and that was 20 years ago . None have come into country in 15-20  years so here is one of the early  ones that  came in in the 80"s. I seen some on Ebay and they are highly restored with lowers placed on matrix from another animal  as this area is famous for that since 2000  with many parts missing  . Mine came in so long ago before any were manipulated by anyone in a warehouse I understand. .  They want as much as I do for a great one .

 

Price :   Must call  706-235-2694 or email  paleoman@dinolandplus.com     Lucky you This has been almost sold 2 times and each time buyer could not come up with funds  This is last Mach ILl ever have for sure thats great   from Old collection here in USA for 35 years not prepped on slab and its complete with same lowers to this upper . It was the last one left . AS I said I don't touch ones on ebay or any others that are put together with hyena teeth and all of  types of reconstruction

 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 all original with a few incisors. 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 have another for personal collection from a friend , and soon hope to get another . 

 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 .

Amazing Find -Ultra Rare Homotherium Saber-Tooth Cat 12” Skull over 90% Original w 2 Perfect Sabers & All Teeth Original

Beautiful ULTRA-RARE Adult HOMOTHERIUM Saber-Cat Skull 12 “Long Highly Original  

Species Homotherium latidens 

Species Description :This cat evolved from Machairodus and appeared at Miocene –Pliocene border about 5 MYA and lived in North America  & 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 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. It looks like Megantereon, however much shorter sabers and less sized lower saberguard and sabers reached to end of lower jaw as this one does. It reached 1.1 meters at shoulder. As said as compared to Megantereon, and gripping force. The skull was longer than Smilodon, and Machairodus its sabers were relatively short. It provided a great puncturing and gripping force. This jaw has turned down flanges to protect the scimitars. It has large canine teeth that 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 were hyena –like . Forelegs elongated while hind legs were rather squat with feet plantograde causing back to slope down towards a short tail similar to a lion. It had a large nasal cavity opening like a cheetah which allowed greater 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.

 

Geographic Time frame: possible Early Pleistocene 11-2 MYA 

 Area   EuroAsia 

 

Item description: and rating : 1-10  .  10 X-Ultra Rare Beautiful Complete Adult Female Homotherium Scimitar Sabercat Skull 12 “ long  x6" wide . It is over 90% original bones and 100% Org Teeth with Perfect Sabers and rest of teeth as crisp as anyone has seen.  The sabers are magnificient-best I ever saw .The Upper is 99% Original including zygos which is rare .  I have wanted a whole one for years and the opportunity was afforded from a friend who is a top expert on these creatures, and this will be admired by me and ones who read this.  He had it in his collection for at least 30 years and decided to sell . I've had it in my collection for awhile also  I decided to sell this but it’s a hard decision. The only resto is back of lowers which all cats have.  IT has wider sabers than Megantereon and larger cat also. This is one of most complete skulls you would ever find with lowers and so rare I’ve only had a few. Only a number of them have been found in a Texas cave , and 2 in Florida and a handful in China and Europe .IT does have a dislocation due to pressure of earth on the side zygos so best to be displayed on either side . This is common for ,80% of cats.  AS someone who knows a lot on cats said the species is close to Xenosmulus(rarest sabercat in world) but different Wow  what a sabercat.  This is the most desired sabercat in the world.  Ive only had one other and I sold it years ago for 43,000 , and now worth much more . This is a deal.    I'Ll gladly keep it if not sold . Great Value. I doubt if 10 of these have ever been found before

One Of Kind -  Super Rare Eusmilus US Saber-tooth Cat with Saber

Species: Eusmilus olsontau 

Species description: The Nimravid saber-tooth cat (one of smaller ones)with razor –sharp sabers and after Dinictis and Hoplophoneus on geological chart which is believed to evolve from one line of hoplophoneus saber cat that roamed North America beginning in the Oligocene Period for only a few million years from 30-27.7 MYA . These animals had a lot of physical characteristics similar to Hoplophoneus Sicarius except for size , as Eusmilus was the genus for that animal until a short time ago . All these are small saber cats only 5-6 inches long with large sabers and flanges for the size which makes it look like a barbourfelis and a hoplo except for much smaller size .It had only 26 teeth compared to 44 for most saber cats and it was lacking molar 1 talonoid and premolar 2 on the bottom jaw . It was bobcat sized with lynx sized head and was built like Barbourfelis for size (Of course Barbourfelis is much larger ). Long bodied and short legged compared to others, and they ate grazing ungulates including camels and oreodonts. They could open their jaws at a 90% angle . Most of the info on internet is incorrect as below is correct . It did not live 8 million years, just over 2 and did not have a large species in America (only this small one)at least and one in Europe was bigger .

The sabers are about 2” long which is normal above many this era. One saber is all there but the other has ½ inch of the tip real with the rest restored. I’d estimate 80-85% original, which for an Oligocene cat amazing . The skull is mighty fine also with approx. 85% original with resto on some of saggital crest plus backs of lowers. The teeth on upper are all real including the incisors and canine incisors . Again the teeth are highly original and hardly any repair on upper except part of one saber . On bottom the smaller incisors and 1 molar & 1 premolar are restored . This cat is great. Restored minimal areas including saggital crest, few spots on top , ½ of one zygo , and one back of lower . For those who do not know that is so minimal . It was expertly prepped and rest of skull is totally original. I’ve had only had a few better than this one and expect this to sell fast. I sell 6-8 per year last 10 years. While some cats only occasionally show up, this is still quite good . Few people have these to sell as I do . You just won’t find them so those still expecting perfection will wait years and years and never get one. This cat has most everything- beautiful color, most original teeth, great sabers, excellent originality of skull and it’s open mouth mounted. What is the most amazing on this cat it was no distortions. The shape is perfect. This occurs only 1 out of 20 cats so this is great . On all sides it works to display on nice display mount also. It is really something. I looked at this so long as I could not find much resto. They just don’t come like this cat, so for you people who want a lot here it is. I had to have it and you will feel the same after looking at the pics .This worth so much more so no discounts. This is from a low formation which makes it one of first saber cats ever. 90% ones go for over 12,000 now . Price $9999 firm Shipping 2 packages overnite $235

MOST COMPLETE RAREST OF RARE ADELPHAILURUS kansensis SABER-TOOTH CAT 11” SKULL

Species: Adelphailurus kansensis Species Description: This is rarest of all sabertooth cats in USA that lived from early Miocene 6-8 MYA and were the size of a modern cougar or puma . Its body also had the same shape as a puma also, and had long compressed upper canine-sabers that hunted small birds and mammals in ambush . This cat is a false saber-tooth cat and had retained a second upper premolar, which is unusual for a cat . It was the second largest of the late Miocene cats and was an Eurasian immigrant. It was a metailurus cat, which besides this species and one other was only found in Asia and a few in Europe. It is not one of the top 6 saber-cats found and has only been found with partials with top of skull never found in USA according to reading all documents . It was identified by Hilbert in 1934 with only a few skull pieces and a few partial bones ever found so this skull is the most complete skull known to exist. A partial humerus, radius, ulna first phalanx and was named after the first skull jaw section found in Kansas. Most of bones found in Arizona in this small area, and one found in Bone Valley, Florida also. Geological formation: Milk Creek Formation Geological period: 8-6 MYA Miocene Early Hempghilian Tribe-Metailuri Genus: metailurus Item Location: Congress Junction, Arizona Item rating and description: (1-10) 10 AMAZING 11” Long x 7” wide agape Adelpharilurus kansensis saber-tooth cat SKULL-The Most complete ever found . This is an amazing piece as this is the most in one skull of its species ever found as only a few skull fragments exist . While it does have a large amount of restore much of lowers are real bone with teeth plus one upper maxilla with teeth are original to one animal. IN other words with 3 jaws 3 of 4 molar teeth pairings are original and the back of cat is original plus one original saber plus part of side of upper. The rest is filled in so % is still about 40% original-estimate. This cat is so amazing and so well prepped it’s a treat to look at. Again while not highly original it’s the best ever found so this is for people who want a one of a kind this is it. For your perfectionists which I know some- do not even try to buy this. I want someone who appreciates this large cat eventually but really do not intend to sell ever Again this is the most complete one of its species ever found so no perfect ones exist and probably never will . This is the most complete ever skull so one of a kind
