These creodonts shared a specialized dentition commonly found in meat eating mammals with shearing structures called carnassal-teeth. This one species was the size of a bear and had 1000 lbs of pressure per bite , and was more dangerous and a lot bigger than any saber-tooth cat of its time a loner).Male specimens show grinding marks on their teeth which means tooth-grinding was used as intimidation with animals.

Ultra Rare Miohippus Horse HEAD with Partial Skeleton Almost 100% OriginalSpecies: Miohippus (Small Horse) (Oligocene Horse) Species description: These horses were small, about the size of a greyhound with a body 4 ft long, 30” high at the shoulder and larger than its predecessor Mesohippus. They were long-legged compared to earlier horses and long necked. They had 3 toes in front and back. These were herbivores that lived from grazing. This animal is very rare compared to other Oligocene animals. They lived in the American West only for 2 million years not like Mesohippus 36-34 MYA. They were food for saber-tooth cats and hyaenodons also. It looked like a modern horse except much smaller. Geological strata: White River Formation Geological period: Oligocene Period 36-34 MYA Item Location: Pennington County, South Dakota Item rating and description: (1-10) ***10*** Beautiful X-Fine Large 9 ½” Skull with Many Leg Bones, Ribs, Vertebrae all coming out the top, sides and all over matrix 34” long in one place. This is a spectacular Oligocene Piece and the first one I ever had or saw. It’s so exceptional with only a few small spots restored so virtually 100% original with all bones all original. These horses only lived a few years and I’m so happy to have this piece. I have not determined yet if I wish to sell it, BUT it has been in my collection for awhile so I may consider offers. I can’t say enough about this piece so just admire it for now. Skull with Skeleton almost 100% original. The skull is really amazing with almost 100% original including all front small incisors and all the teeth original. It has a many feet bones with some hooves and the whole front legs with many of the verts with processes and one back leg femur and misc bones including all ribs. The beauty, detail, and bone quality of this animal is simply fantastic!! I would say 40% of skeleton is there. Just one glance I had to have it as it is so outstanding. The prep work is so extremely good. It displays well on the matrix and bone quality is one of best I have ever had. This is an adult horse and is the top horse I have ever owned so all you horse lovers line up for this one. These are hard to get so completely original as most have the front completely restored due to saber cat attacks, so you will not find a better one!!! keith poss no hold |

Perfect 100% Original Entire Right Side 10” Beringian Lion Lower Jaw w All Teeth & CanineSpecies : Panthera leo vereshagini(extremely rare) few skulls know Beringian Lion or East Siberian Species Description: This species evolved from spleaea Panthera but it is extremely rare as no skeletons exist of this except now last summer 2 lions were discovered with hair and intact organs and entire skeleton . They actually have parts found in Alaska and western Canada, and that’s it. Various studies report varying sizes as some report it’s bigger than Spelaea and smaller than American lion, however most report smaller lions at 1.8 meters long with tails of 37 inches and height of 44 inches with weight of over 550 lbs which still is large . Mine is smaller than atrox by a lot, but while some skull differences of European Cave lion and American lion , the American Lion can be traced to this species. Actually DNA on Cave Lions is exact on all so all could be one species just found in different parts of the world . These migrated across the land bridge to USA in Alaska and Canada so it’s the only Lion to do so thus divergence into American Lion . In fact in early studies vereshagini is mentioned as American Lion Atrox . Skeletal remains are space with no full skulls found and only 2 baby lions in Russia known . These were found with hair, skin , organs due to all in permafrost . This is the rarest lion anywhere as I have a collection of rare older lions also . Geographic Period : Pleistocene Epoch 320,000 -12,000 years ago (Mine est at 30,000 ) Geographic time: 320,000 years ago -12,000 years ago Item Location : Yakutia-Eastern Siberia – Found in Clay profile of the Indigirka River Downstream(South) well into Siberia Item rating and description: 1-10 *10 plus * WOW For someone who can’t afford a whole skull -here is a chance to get an entire right side lower jaw of a lion from Russia . All teeth are original and nothing done to teeth including canine. It might appear to untrained eye the canine is not complete but the natural wear shows this was a lion that was old and damaged its canine in hitting bones while eating . It tells a story . The canine is all there and original , just a vicious lion eating sloppily its prey .The age has to be very very old for this animal Few of these are available anymore as American Lion jaws you can’t get anymore even though I have 2 of them . If you google it -it says no skeletons found just a few skulls but you have the chance to get a genuine lower jaw that is perfect. No resto no crack fills no nothing just a jaw for you skull. I have 2 skulls both worth over 20,000 . It has premolars molars and and even 1 incisors. The color indicates at least 30,000 years old . It was found in the river at a location that no others are known to be found at all. It’s so close to American Lion this needs studied or in a collection that will be honored forever as a one-of-a-kind piece . Remember this is close to Alaska and American Lion came from this lion across the Bering Straight . It is just a as big and looks identical to my American Lion Jaws . It is even rarer than the American Lion which I thought was impossible even though all are grouped together by many scientists . It never was broken. This is my only 1 now.

It was found whole with exception of zygos so no full breaks, and it is simply an amazing quality piece in all regards including bone quality, beautiful color , and an adult . It’s such great bone quality it was a specimen that was very healthy so it met a quick death somehow possibly by a number of terrible pigs which were bigger, however, no bite marks on the head are evident.
