A member of the bovine family, the bison diverged from a common ancestor with the water buffalo and African buffalo around 5 to 10 million years ago. During the late Middle Pleistocene, around 195,000-135,000 years ago, the bison migrated across the Bering land bridge from Eurasia into North America, eventually becoming the American bison we know today. Dimensions: 20" H x 24" W" x 9" D

FOSSILIZED OREODONT MERYCOIDODON
FOSSILIZED OREODONT MERYCOIDODON CULBERTSONI SKULLNorth America, Western United States, South Dakota, Scenic, Upper Brule Formation, Oligocene, ca. 28.1 million to 23 million years ago. A fossilized upper cranium and lower mandible from a prehistoric oreodont with most of the teeth intact! A bar has been added to the jawbone for mounting on a stand to create an open mouth pose, but currently the upper fits comfortably on the lower in a resting position. The teeth are an interesting high crown shape; pointy and triangular, and their name translates to "mountain tooth" and these mammals were herbivores, roaming the prehistoric North America grasslands in herds grinding up the plants with their "mountainous" teeth. Size (upper): 7" L x 4.75" W x 2.75" H (17.8 cm x 12.1 cm x 7 cm)

FOSSILIZED SIBERIAN WOOLLY
FOSSILIZED SIBERIAN WOOLLY RHINOCEROS SKULLCentral Asia, Siberia, Pleistocene, ca. 2.58 million to 12,000 years ago. A rare and striking skull from one of the most famous beasts of the last Ice Age - the Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis). Now extinct, the head of the ancient beast presents a lengthy, rounded snout, a pair of sizable nostrils, huge, sunken eyes, and twelve teeth, each showing a thick enamel and the swirling structure of the internal cavity. The enormous animal could grow to 12.5 feet (3.8 meters) in length and 4,400 pounds (2,000 kilograms) and featured two giant horns with the longer reaching forwards and the smaller between the eyes, as well as a long fur coat with a thick undercoat. A powerful hump on the creature's back allowed it to support its heavy horns. Size: 30" L x 13" W x 36" H (76.2 cm x 33 cm x 91.4 cm); 39.5" H (100.3 cm) on included custom stand.
Regardless of their massive bodies and brutish appearance, woolly rhinoceros primarily fed upon grasses and sedges in the mammoth steppe, hence their downward facing heads, flat teeth, and lack of incisors. This fact is lucky for the paleolithic humans who not only lived beside them, but also drew representations of the ancient rhinos on cave walls in France and built statuettes of beasts in the Czech republic. Interestingly, however, when a fossilized head of the animal was first recovered in 1335 in Austria, it was believed to belong to a dragon, and later in 1590, it became classified as an "ancient griffin". By the 18th and 19th century, researchers began to recognize the animal as part of the rhinoceros family, yet having the fur of a woolly mammoth, part of the elephant family. So, what did they call this fascinating cross between an elephant and a rhino? Elephino!

FOSSILIZED THREE TOED HORSE UPPER
FOSSILIZED THREE TOED HORSE UPPER SKULL & TEETHNorth America, Western United States, South Dakota, Pennington, Brule Formation, Oligocene, ca. 33 to 30 million years ago. A fossilized upper skull from a prehistoric equine known as the three-toed horse, Mesohippus bairdi- the translation means "middle horse" due to its place on the timeline of horse evolution! These animals were petite in comparison to their modern relatives - this upper is easily picked up in one hand, but the shift towards equines of today is quite pronounced in the teeth- here the well-preserved premolars can be viewed from the side, their teeth squarer than predecessors to grind grasses and leaves, but they still retain some primitive triangularity from pulverizing fruits and berries. This fossil rests on a flat base, as a perfect display piece and cornerstone specimen of horse evolution and early development. Size: 9" L x 4" W x 3" H (22.9 cm x 10.2 cm x 7.6 cm)

FOSSILIZED MOSASAUR SKULL - RARE
FOSSILIZED MOSASAUR SKULL - RARE TETHYSAURUS NOPCSAINorth Africa, Morocco, Errachidia Province, Goulmima, Upper Cretaceous, ca. 93.9 to 89.8 million years ago. This is a rare example of a prehistoric mosasaur species known as Tethysaurus nopcsai, the only species from the Tethysaurus family! As the mosasaur fossilized, some of the bones shifted and separated- part of the mandible or palatal teeth are between the upper and lower jaws, but the overall form of the snout and eye orbit well preserved, and the white stone matrix contrasts well against the umber brown hues of bone and teeth. Tethysaurus was a transitional species between more primitive mosasaurs and later species. The large teeth and hinged jaws enabled mosasaurs to gulp down their prey nearly whole, like modern day snakes. This carnivorous lizard possessed a streamlined body, flattened tail, and webbed feet and somewhat resembled flippered crocodiles. Size: 10.75" L x 1.5" W x 5" H (27.3 cm x 3.8 cm x 12.7 cm)
