Monster High Quality 23” “TERRIBLE PIG” Archaeotherium Adult SkullMONSTER High Quality 23” TERRIBLE PIG Archaeotherium mortoni Adult Skull Species: ARCHAEOTHERIUM Mortoni Species description: Largest Species of Entelodont and Largest Carnivore Pig of all time. It was a relative of the ungulates and a cow- sized predator with large canines. They ate camels , oreodonts , brontotheres ,and horses on the Oligocene fields. It could also dig for roots and tubers. It had an elongated skull with long bony knobs beneath the eyes and on the lower jaws. It also had long spines on its thoracic vertebrae over the shoulders and a small brain, and often obtained lengths over 8 ‘. Its jaw could snap shut quickly and kill any animal during its time and was highly successful. It hunted in packs and could run off a huge hyaenodon. One unnamed species lived during early Miocene .The early archs were a little smaller than later Oligocene archaeotheriums . Geological strata: WHITE RIVER Formation Geological period: Late Oligocene Period 25-23 MYA Item location: Badlands of Western South Dakota, Pennington County Item rating and description :1-10 9.2 MONSTER ADULT 23” LONG Entelodont” Terrible Pig “Archaeotherium 11” Wide Unique Skull found last year on a South Dakota private ranch . What a beautiful monster specimen with some restore. I estimate this is over 80% original with teeth even better at only the incisors in the front restored. This found in late Oligocene soils. This is one of the better ones I’ve had , as anything over 75% now is very very good . The size, teeth and skull make this a adult at the time of the biggest entelodonts . The back of skull has some restore, zygos, and part of ears with spot fills here and there. Some repair occurred also. The ears are displayed down which is why it would be 16 inches wide otherwisw. They were smart, resourceful , team killers on the West Plains of North America .This is the most sought after mammal now after all the BBC Prehistoric Beast immortalized publication tape. IT shared the Oligocene Period with hyaenodons as the top predators but these were in teams and were top dogs so to speak . The originality is very very good with super teeth . It’s very easy to see restored areas on this colorful pig but few have one this size .The colors are typical S Dakota with a yellow beige tint, and as time went these pigs evolved into daedons and large Miocene Archaeotherium also ,which I also have one. This is an huge adult. These animals made mince meat of the saber cats of the time. The values on these have skyrocketed due to rarity but you can have you pick with me. This was the top of the food chain. IT looks like a male to me but not sure as females got big also late in Oligocene. This is beautifully displayed on top display wooden mat with steel supports .

One Of Kind - Super Rare Eusmilus US Saber-tooth Cat with SaberSpecies: 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 . Geological strata: Upper Whitneyan and Early Arikareean Age Geological Time frame: 30-27.7 MYA Item location: Pennington County , SD Item rating and description:1-10 10 Gorgeous Small Ultra Rare Eusmilus Saber-tooth Cat 5.5” . This cat is so special I still can’t hardly believe I have one. Only a few in the entire world exist with a few museums in USA and Europe , and only 2 private collections exist as known and I’m one of them . Due to a friend I was able to obtain a dream and this is one of few which actually have a saber anywhere . It has one complete side with some bone missing on top but a beautiful back , and the other side is there –just need to prep it . It has excellent bone quality, and is one of the true Eusmilus Cats . I’ve been reading about this cat for years, and by the way now that Hoplophoneus Sicarius has been reclassified no large ones exist as the web says in America . Too many awesome words can’t fully describe this cat. This may be the only one with this much of one saber These are found in rock nodules This is beyond words Its been in my collection for years This is only for cat collectors that will never have another chance to buy . The owner is so lucky Ive been so proud for years but its time for someone else This is 100% original and the one saber is only one of this species that may exist .

He has no sabers , and I have this one Auction value $35,000 plus 23 % premium Will be gone soon email me at paleoman@dinolandplus.com call 706-235-2694.

It had thick long fur, small ears , short ,thick legs and a stocky body. It used its horns to sweep away snow from vegetation so it could eat in the winter and defensive purposes. It did survive the last glaciation period unlike most all other mammals of its time as it was hardy and could withstand most anything but man
Geological strata: Pleistocene Fauna
Geological period: 1.8MYA -10,000 yrs ago
Item location: SIBERIA , RUSSIA THis is a VERY Dark SKull (Sunlight does not show this )
Rating and item description : 1-10 9.5 VERY MONSTEROUS HUGE 37” WOOLY RHINOCERAS Whole SKULL w /All Natural Teeth with Dark Color Beautiful Brown Color. IT is very High (17”) and also 14 Inches Wide. The Upper is 100% Natural with some teeth from same animal glued back in. The lower had all teeth in place naturally with only a slant in lowers that isn’t easily seen. The colors match well on lowers even though I believe it’s from another rhino which is almost universal on these but color makes it a great piece. I’ve seen many hundreds with horrible color differences but not this one. The only part with a little restored on lowers with bone is putting jaws together correctly and one side on bottom. The fit at articulation point is fantastic and unheard of . The back of lowers is 99% natural with a small bone placed on highest point of backs. The articulation point is 100% natural and that’s unheard of which just doesn’t occur. This lower matches perfect and color in most areas. IT does have a slant that doesn't show unless upper off but it still lines up with rest of skull at articulation and teeth Now no one will be getting any more as only first of year Russia has laws now of items leaving country as of this year and due to Putin I would not buy anything ever from Russia in future . This was not obtained from Russia but a local USA person. This was bought in USA as it was here for many years. This is from an old collection for decades in a warehouse, and never prepped . These are found only in Russia now, but used to be Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, and a number of Eastern Europe Countries, as none in Europe have been found in years due to most areas including home caves being now controlled by governments. While this has no large horns, I do have some juvenile horns you can get very inexpensive . If it was a large horn one the price would be over $50,000 so it’s a way to get one very cheap. I saw one with a horn in Tucson this year for $80,000. Only a few ever have the smaller horn real as only a handful have ever been found. All 4 molars on each side are present. It’s a great representation of the species. The lines and attributes are fine and the top, back, and front are perfect with all bone original on the upper. The top upper in front have little projectiles called protuberances which are so detailed and not worn and many don’t have near the detail as this one. Keep in mind only Russia has these now, and you can get this one in USA as I did . I will not send this to Europe only USA . IT displays well on its molars and I’ve seen these on ebay for $20,000-$30,000 with fake horns so step up to the plate and hit a home run and buy this. It is heavy but can be carried or mailed on a skid . I see huge upside investment in this piece for any of you and hope you see it too as you won’t be seeing these ever in future. Due to color this one looks old. This is a male rhino for sure and largest one I ever saw Even one on my collection for years is 36 inches
