One cave Dragonhole in Austria contains remains of more than 30,000 bears and many died in their sleep. It was hunted by Neanderthal people and was a vegetarian despite the size of teeth. They were found at many locations also in Russia , but now very few –only Romania .

The tibia and fibula are from the same REX , while the metatarsal is hardly ever found as this is the thin one down the middle and is so narrow it never survives except this one . It takes 2 persons to lift this one so it was difficult to work with as most bones this size has multiple natural breaks. All 3 you can’t say n enough about them . I will not sell these as they are the cornerstone of my collection, and can never replace them even though IM working on a TREX Tibia now I will sell and it’s a great one so ask about it. The bone quality on these is simply amazing. LOOK AT THESE . They are so awesome they literally bring tears to my eyes .

Unbelieveable Death Scene - Juvenile Stegosaurus 21” Dorsal Plate w Juvenile Allosaurus Full Scapula

Species: Stegosaurus stenops & Allosaurus fragilis Species description: Stegosaurus is an armored dinosaur and means “narrow faced roof lizard “ about 23 ft long noted for large dorsal plates used for temp regulation and mating , and tail spikes in back for defense . IT was a herbivore , and little known it is the longest living dinosaur over Jurassic and Cretaceous . It was found in late Cretaceous Indian soil. It is a weird looking dinosaur compared to others .It is considered the longest living dinosaur ever due to India having this creature up to 65 MYA so it is at least 100 Million Years Old since it first appeared. Allosaurus was the largest Jurassic Therrapod Meat Eating dinosaur ever reaching up to 35 ft long –as long as a bus . Its large skull with moveable joints in the skull allowed it to bite huge bites to devour its prey which included the largest saropds over 65 ft long .It did hunt in groups It had an S shaped bulldog neckand each powerfularm having 3 clawed fingers with one large claw. It weighed 2 tons. Geological strata: Morrison Formation ( Upper Kimmeridgian Stages) Geological period: Late Jurassic 172-140MYA Item location: Emery County, UTAH Description and Rating : 15 Original One-Of A Kind Death Struggle with Stegosaurus 21’x13”Dorsal Plate & Juvenile Allosaurus Complete Scapula 13” (Shoulder Blade) So many imaginery ways these two could have died come to mind as both died together in a struggle of epic proportions . I wish I could have witnessed this myself . Oh wellborn to late I guess . Only dino nuts would say this . Bone Quality is top of the line. This may be the only one like this anywhere but know few like this exist in the world , and only one of its type I ever saw for sale It is dark gray-black,red which is typical from this area . The Dorsal Plate was glued back together but very little restoration except crack fills on either . The Allosaurus shoulder blade has some on top of bone, and dorsal plate is almost without restore . The plate shows the connection area ,and a design so typical of a very rare plate. It is complete and from a juvenile . I do not sell stegosaurus material because it is not found for private collections hardly ever and is much more valuable than REX, Allosaurus , or any other dinosaur so I’m gladly keep this if not appreciated . I have looked for stegosaurus items for years and have actually keeping this for now . It I have a tail spike, and a rare dorsal plate from its grandfather miosi , and consider this the most valuable of all . I don’t sell those pieces . The quality is so good with virtually no or minimal restore as crack fills but how many pieces tell a story . It is as unbelievable find.It also was in the hardest matrix I ever had to clean off , so it’s a labor of love . I appreciate this fossil so much it is at top of anyones’ collection. Just admire this!!!

Amazing Spectacular Highly Original Largest Hoplophoneus Saber-Cat Species Ever

Species: Hoplophoneus occidentalis Species description: The long –legged Nimravid saber-tooth cat (one of larger one)with razor –sharp sabers and the second earliest saber-tooth cat that roamed North America beginning in the Oligocene Period 35 MYA -23 MYA . These animals had a lot of physical characteristics similar and exact to Smilodon including famous saber-guards and similar sabers while smaller . They stood at over 2 ft tall the size of a large bobcat, and were more of a group predator with a close knit families as evidenced by some hoplos found together in death while overall very rare species 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. Geological strata: Scenic Member of the Brule Formation Geological Epoch: Early Orellan 34 MYA Item location : Scenic , Shannon County, SD Item rating and description: 14 Just a Gorgeous Rarest of Rare Large High Originality Plus ORIGINAL Hoplophoneus occidentalis Saber-Cat Skull 8 7/8” Long with 3 3/8 inch sabers . This cat was described by my top prepper as the best one I ever had, as he has done over 10 this year alone for me . These just aren’t for sale but here is one . One of the rarest cat sanywhere in the world , a giant hoplo .This one is a true collector’s DREAM item , and IM a collector so it was mine and now available for sale . The sabers are so huge I have never seen any hoplo over 3 inches before , however this is a true prize . The first hoplo was oreodontis 35 million years ago, and were small at that time only 5-7 inches long at most in the early years , as they did get bigger with time up to 9” long . At 34 million years came a new huge holpo called occidentalis which appeared and evolved from primaevus ,and only lasted for 4 million years on the plains of South Dakota. Some primaevus got this large in latter years, but not at 34 million years I contend as occidentalis species were very rare at this timeframe and smaller . Most people know this occidentalis species at least 10” long ,but I believe these were the later ones at the 32-30 million years old timeframe . This one was very early one and I believe as does 2 of my contemporaries as one of first occidentalis species for sure , however I must say one of my best friends and top authorities believes it to be a hoplo giant primaevus species , whose opinion I respect immensely . However ,below are the reasons . I believe this is a true occidentalis early species . First my friend believes all occis must be 10” long but since I know for a fact this animal is at least 34 million years old (due to how low it was found in the strata which was the first of the occidentalis species due to the timeframe. I believe they were smaller at this time , and the ones he has are later of the species and not as low in the strata . A pogonodon that was found higher by 75 ft higher was small one when it first came 32.5 million years ago and got much bigger , and we found this occi specimen much lower so we know it was at least 34 Million years ago . First of a species always have characteristics of both when the lines evolve from each other which is the case here. Hoplo primaevuses were smaller at this time frame than this specimen from observances by the finder –as many primaevus only 5-7 inches were found by him here , and he knew this was special . This skull is 8.75 “ long, and the largest ever found in this area by far . So all others found at this strata were very small, but this skull is far larger in a very early timeframe for hoplos. . 4 million years made occis only 1-2inches longer as the biggest hoplo that ever existed , and since this is a female they were smaller than males . Many characteristics make me believe this is an occidentalis . In fact, all characteristics to me even size fit occidentalis for this timeframe . First the postglenoid foramen are actually smaller per skull size in occidentalis than primaevus as per Donald Prothero’s Book The Terrestrial Eocene –Oligocene Transition in North America , and this fits this specimen . Next the paraoccipital process at the back of head is reduced in size for occidentalis per skull size ,and it appears for this specimen in comparison of primaevus . How you tell these animals also is look at the saber guard. This specimen has the guards much wider and longer than a normal hoplo due to saber size . Also at the top of saber its almost an inch -15/16” wide , and wide throughout , and reg hoplos are never more than 5/8 inches wide as they are quite –narrow . Many times reg hoplos are under a half inch wide on sabers . Also the Upper Premolar 2 is absent in this species , and reg hoplos its not absent as all I have seen has an upper P 2 including all the ones I have now . This occi does not have P 2 on either side of the upper and the alveolus does not look covered over by bone , as my expert friend suggests may have happened in this case . I have never had one that P2 is absent even though in reg hoplos it can happens as extremely knowledgeable friend suggests .Basically the belief by some is if it’s not 10” long, it’s not an occi. However an update after further review other characteristics that I and my friend believe it to be an occi .The huge curvature of the canine and rounded margins make it an occi I’m using all the other parameters which show occi for me also . The strata of the find suggests differently to me, as it is definitely one of the very early holpos, and it is huge .Since it is one of first for sure of all hoplos(lower strata doesnt contain holpos only dinictises) , I believe it would be smaller than the normal later 10” (1” off) occi specimens. Anyway it could be a tweener in the 2 species , but I believe strongly this is at minimum at least the start to the occi species and now am 99% certain its an occi, even though only a few exist anywhere . Hill City has a definite occidentalis specimen only 5/8 larger than this specimen also . The finder and a top dealer agree with me, but regardless of my claim this is the best hoplo specimen you will ever see anywhere . It is one to be proud of forever . Color, detail, and completeness is above reproach. The white color with lines is usual for these animals , which is how they looked close to death . The upper skull is more than 90% original with super teeth with only a small area of back of skull and lower back jaws restored.. The teeth are almost 100% with just a few incisors restored. This may be one of earliest occidentalis skulls ever found , or at minimum one with mostly occi characteristics except length . I don’t think length should be the overriding characteristic in any assessment. Only a dozen occidentalis skulls have ever been found anyway over all 4 million years so this is so valuable which always stumps even the most knowledgeable because it is hard to put in put in either category .It is a female that is very rare .It resembles Smilodon , and is ultra desired . This is the smallest occi possibly ever found but still a huge hoplo , no matter how you look at it . No one can take the beauty of this specimen away no matter what it is, which makes it extremely special for me. This is unheard of and a great rare specimen

Top Exceptional Rare Extinct Perfect 100% Original Dark 13"CAVE HYENA Skull From Rare Location

RAREST- of- RARE EXTINCT Perfect 100% Original 13” CAVE HYENA Skull from Rarest of Locations Species: Crocuta crocuta spelaea Species description: These hyenas were known as the Ice Age Spotted Hyena and was a subspecies the second largest Hyenas of all time and was a carnivore who stalked and killed animals in packs it was about 6 ft long and looked similar to a modern hyena except much bigger including the head was much wider and different shaped possessing a long body and short legs. This species once ranged from Iberian Peninsula to Russia .This hyena was a highly specialized animal. These weighed over 250 lbs .They ate wild horses , steppe bison, and woolly rhinoceros that was so ruthless it could kill almost anything with its progressive and regressive features being more developed than the modern African species. Its extinction was earlier than other Ice age mammals with last one dated 11,000 years ago with most gone 14,000 years ago. This helps explain the only few specimens like this one in Russia & Surrounding Area -none East of There Ever . Its extinction was due to climate change, and an inability to compete with lions and humans, and loss of grasslands which they hunted. These though did likely kill wolves which roamed with them due to being more powerful. Geological strata: Pleistocene epoch Geological period: 2 million -10,000 years old closer to first due to color Item location: Eastern Kazakhstan – Altai Mts in caves –only recently found. This was found very close to Russia where most this color are found Item rating and description: 1-10 10 Perfection on an extremely rare animal Cave Hyena 13 “ long with Super Teeth and Totally Original 100 Skull . IM so lucky as I have the 2 best ones ever found . I checked with all European dealers and only 2 ever sold a full skull, and those 2 were only 80%. No other dealer has even seen one. Pieces and parts but no full skulls except the 2 I have . And what a skull. It was never broken not even zygotes. This is the Rarest find in Europe-Russia and probably the best ever found from searching all literature in history . This was cleaned off only no sealant no nothing. I have never even seen a complete skull as many people in Europe have never seen. Not one bit of work was done to this as it was sitting in a cave protected from thousands of years / These caves were only recently discovered so not even Europe knows about these. So few people in the world know of these they don’t even know how to price –that’s how rare they are. All animals in this area are dark and this was the darkest. Most animals are brown or black from here only. The ones in Europe are light. This could be the areas of first ones due to color 500,000 years old . Darker the color the older they are. Next to Bonecrusher hyena this was one of 5 top carnivores at its time including sabercats, lions, bonecrusher hyena and this. This is perfection to top degree. IT attacked huge animals like woolly rhinos, horses, woolly mammoth etc. Its huge 13 inches and 9 inches wide so no compression. It comes on a sturdy stand also . Where can you get a top predator this good. It’s amazing .This specimen displays so well with total originality This is worth a fortune. People in Europe-Asia are different from USA –they like totally natural 100% but will take partial animals more than prepped animals but this is so good it can be owned by anyone who wants to premium bone . While nothing is perfect this will sell so fast to Europeans or Americans as it perfect. One tooth repaired. That’s it. 100 % original and so rare you will never ever see another. I’ll be getting more animals from this region including lions so be ready or these will go so fast it will make your head spin. These go for way more than I want especially from an area that never found them AS you know I only get the best and this is the best of the best. If no one buys this that’s fine it will stay with me as find another. It’s for someone collection who has most everything but they don’t have this. Even poor ones in Europe go for more than I’m asking Call on this one. Keep in mind only 2 dealer has even seen one in Europe until now. Only accept wires or Cashiers Check . No paypal .This has nothing put on it and no cracks no nothing except original . I’ve seen a number of Russian Ones with many teeth missing and restoration or original with many holes at much lower price but if you want perfection this is it and have to pay for it . So if you want a poor one for 7000 I can get it for you but this location is so rare only a few have been found and I have the 2 best ones ever found . These are from a private collection. They are so rare now none exist in Europe anymore due to caves being all government owned so this is the best one and in a rare country with only 2 so far being known found .

The One-the Only Great 1st GIANT SHORT-FACED BEAR

Species: Arctodus pristinus(earlier than simus)Lesser Shortfaced bear Species description: The largest Bear of all time that stood up to 6 ft Tall at shoulder and 8 ft tall and 9 ft long , and weighed 1800 lbs much larger than grizzlies . In fact at one time the largest mammalian terrestrial carnivore known as tremarctine bears or running bears endemic to North America and Europe . This was a complete carnivore not like bears today as evidenced by high nitrogen bone concentrations so was a killer of its time and lasted for 2.8 million years. More info is listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctodus . Largest of all Bears Geological Timeframe : 1.8Million Years-1.5M years agoBlancan/Irvingtonian Geological Period : Early Pleistocene 1.8MYA Item Location: Columbia County, Florida Item rating and description: 1-10 9.5 Maybe the only True Pristinus Short-Faced Bear 12.25 inches by 8 “ wide and 7” Tall Skull in the World. This is so unbelieveable as no one has this anywhere in this condition. This time I outdid myself on rareness as this ranks as the hardest animal to find in fossil records even greater than LaBrea Smilodon. Only scant pieces are ever found normally but here you have from sections a Complete Skull with little restoration. Most is on backs of lowers but I challenge you to find more. Even the zygos are short-faced bear. It is a perfect match on all defining characteristics of pristinus also with a written booklet with documents prepared for you showing each shortface bear and the differences. This is rarer than Simus. Try to find one anywhere as you won’t. I don’t know of any except partial one at Florida Museum. It’s so hard to find many paleontoligists can’t hardly tell but by this notebook you can tell easy. This took lots of work and time so you bear lovers better come see this one. All teeth are real shortface bear also so to have all teeth 100% real is amazing. Many crack fills occurred on this specimen. Your looking at history here and maybe the only 95% short-faced bone one anywhere. This grew into Simus-the larger one . I still can’t believe it. Look at this shortfaced bear. It is large. Simus evolved from this totally. You will not find this animal anywhere but at this site forever as it is not currently for sale. I figure the value is somewhere around $50,000 but you may call me and try to convince me you love it. It probably will end up at auction for much more than above quoted. If you love to follow bear history this is so great. This was prepped by one of top bear experts in the world also . This skull is going to auction soon so people can pay more a lot more This is one of kind with a complete info on originality Plus so off to auction unless Call me to talk 706-235-2694 Price $32000 was personal item
