The Supreme ULTIMATE PIECE –MAGNIFICIENT 12” BEAR-DOG SKULL 19 MYA –ONE-OF-A-KIND . Wow even I outdid myself on this one . NO one on earth has this skull of a bear-dog that only has one paper on it described from only 3 pieces of skull -2 in Nebraska . This is of extreme scientific value ,and also is at least 95% original . ONLY one was found that was crushed and 50% so this is a classic. It is so perfect only 2 lower incisors are not original, crack fills , small section of back of one lower jaw , a small section 1” section behind the eyes is restored . Wow .Words really cant describe these . Who has even another species of this? NO one is the answer in this good of shape . It was gotten from a friend , and I will treasure forever .Its 12” long by 7 “ wide mounted and beautifully prepped with bone quality simply outstanding , and color great . You really can’t value THIS ITEM since not one exists. Beyond a museum piece, in my private collection. I’m so proud of this piece .I really cant say anymore than here because so little is known of this animal . You won’t find anything under this in google so here is your info . I regard this as one of top 5 pieces I own.

Stunning Extinct 17” 98+ Original Cave Beat Skull with all Teeth from RomaniaSpecies: Ursus spelaeus –European cave bear
Species description: Large Bear from Pleistocene that was previously only known in Europe but this which was larger than size of a grizzly and lived 20-25,000 years ago in Europe with large jaws and large bodies similar except bigger than modern bears It lived in Europe at height of last Ice Age and hibernated in European Caves to survive the winters . 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 . Geological strata: Pleistocene 300,000-10,000 Item Location : Romania Cave Item rating and description : Top Premium ENTIRE CAVE BEAR SKULL With Super Bone Quality, All Teeth with x-Nice Canines , and Excellent Display Piece . It is 17” Long x 9.5” wide x 9” tall . These are getting so hard to buy any more only old collections are found plus this one. They used to be found in caves all over Europe, Russia , and Alaska but now only Romania . The prices have doubled in the last 2 years , and this one is the best I ever had . They go so fast I expect this will be gone in a very short time . The great ones go for 6-8,000 now . The color, no wear on teeth, and natural completeness is really amazing on this skull. I wanted it immediately as you’ll not find a better one on a recent find. I told the person I bought it from I wanted the best and here it is. I will not come down on this but will offer at low price, just can’t discount. These are such a great investment as the values will keep on rising and soon they will be like so rare only old collections will be sold.

Rare La Brea Grizzly Bear 2 Lower Jaws with Canine and Teeth and upper maxilla with Both CannesSpecies: Arctodus simus (Bulldog Bear also) or Pleistocene grizzly bear Species description: The largest Bear of all time that stood up to 6 ft Tall at shoulder , and weighed 1800 lbs 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 . or a grizzly similar to todays species Geological Timeframe : 3 Million Years to 11,000 years ago Geological Period : Middle Pliocene -Late Pleistocene Item Location : La Brea Tarpits , LA, California Item rating and description: 13 Totally Original La Brea Giant Short Face or Grizzly Bear Upper Maxilla and Lowers from The Same Animal with Canines . This is so unbelieveable as no one has this anywhere If it is a short face great but actually Grizzly remains from this time frame are even rarer . Both are one of hardest animal to find in fossil records even greater than LaBrea Smilodon . Only scant pieces are ever found but here you have from the same individual totally original lower jaws with all teeth except one canine with no restoration at all from the most famous place on earth for fossils. One mandible is over 9 inches long and complete except small portion of back. The other is 7 inches with all teeth except canine. Then you have the top maxilla and nose area with both sides with many teeth including both canines and pieces of other teeth. It is 4 inches long by 3.5” wide. Many of teeth have roots and partials. The canines are the largest teeth and both have tips broken. Of course this came from an early collection in the 50’s from Paul Spinner Collection. I have papers proving they came from this collection, as it was once one of largest La Brea collections anywhere. 3 Canines is so amazing for this creature so you have the most important pieces of the skull in this collection. I’m even throwing in part of a bone probably hand from this creature. This bear died due to loss of larger mammals and man. No repair no restoration with only upper maxilla glued on / and penetrant sealer to protect. Notice the oil brown patented color for La Brea . Both possibilities are being looked at Currently not sure however 3 parties have said its Short –faced all qualified , and one said grizzly The one that said grizzly Im leaning towards that since he collects bears as well as tons of other rarities , and I trust him completely .Anyway the canines alone are worth a fortune from this bear , and I decided to sell very reasonably at...

Unbelieveable Beautiful MONSTER Excellent Serrated X- Large TREX Over 5 1/4”(Around the Curve ) POINT TOOTH
Species description: One of largest carnivore during dinosaurs age with 12" corner teeth with roots and up to 49 ft long and USA own species found in western USA. Very powerful and massively built dinosaur which hunted solitary . It easily downed its prey with quick surprise attacks. Period: Late Cretaceous Period 70-66.5 MYA Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation Geologic location: SE Montana Description and rating 12 : Beautiful One- of- a Kind X LARGE Dark Brown POINT TOOTH with Excellent Serrations, Original Tip and High Originality with excellent enamel . Remember these large ones are hardly ever found. The enamel and color are so beautiful as a dark brown so typical of Hell Creek . For a tooth this size an estimated close to 90% Original is fantastic. The entire back and tip of tooth are original with no repairs except crack fills. While this was broken originally at 3 spots only , it was well prepped and glued back with some restoration one side only for about ½” past the tip and farther down in middle for a section . All the serrations were told to be original but I believe a few in middle of one side were well – prepped and placed there. Even so the amount of serrations is so amazing I can’t hardly believe it . I have had over 10 of these 5 inches in 5 years and none of them had this great of serrations as the big ones rarely have them . My last one had only a few serrations and little enamel and sold for an amazing $5000 at 80% original and this is much better of a tooth . This tooth even has a natural tooth morphology with indentation of tooth next door which does happen often , and maintains all the enamel everwhere . I would classify this large tooth as very good as I know how tough it is to find perfect large teeth . The others I’ve had don’t compare to this .You can never find these more original and if you do it costs 2000 per inch plus so $9000 at least so take a half priced that k looks beautiful that is not perfect but so well -prepped it looks like it’s perfect . The lighter color pictures are just how light reflects as tooth is dark brown. Simply amazing to get a tooth this size at this price . I hunt this area yearly but it was found by a friend who regularly hunts the ranch .

SUPER LARGE TREX 5"+ POINT TOOTHSpecies: Tyrannosaurus rex Species description: One of largest carnivore during dinosaurs age with 12" corner teeth with roots and up to 49 ft long and USA own species found in western USA. Very powerful and massively built dinosaur which hunted solitary . It easily downed its prey with quick surprise attacks. Period: Late Cretaceous Period 70-66.5 MYA Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation Geologic location: NW South Dakota Description and rating: 12++++. ONE-OF–A–KIND X-LARGE 5+" TREX POINT TOOTH. This truly is a once in a lifetime find, and I have seen none larger in 15 years or in as good as shape . Remember these teeth are hardly ever found due to size, and second this tooth has never been broken in 65.5 Million years and the larger they are the more improbable this occurs so this is a dream. SIZE, shape, tip, color, and whole piece are perfect, which in itself is the best you can ask for with this size tooth . But this one has very good enamel on almost all of one side except for a light small spot noticeable , and about 2" of very good enamel on the other side with rest good on that side. This is better than any one sold ever according to my sources. Serrations are not pronounced but evident in 75% of top larger curve –all except small area close to tip and a nic in the middle . On smaller curve under even better at about 80% with only ½ " in middle missing one area. Again serrations are not large but visible as you can tell from pics and on one this side almost unheard of. In fact a close friend found one in 2005 and was largest one ever on ebay, and there 5" had no serrations and about same enamel and sold for $6600. It even has a COA and x-rays slight darker areas that could be some restore is only 5% of the tooth on one side and all white on other side. Just a little darker for 5% so maybe 100% natural. Also If perfect this would go for over $10,000 (2 thousand and inch) and unaffordable and you would never have the opportunity to get one . Anyway my price is actually cheap for this treasure at a little over $1000 an inch. I owned this tooth and sold it and loved it so much at my request bought it back. I have had a lot of calls for the big ones and you will never find one bigger in my opinion. THIS IS A BIG-ONE.

Large Complete Spinosaurus Foot Section 22" LongSpecies: Spinosaurus aegytiacus Species description: Largest Ever Therapod Meat-Eating Dinosaur from North Africa up to 60 ft long and larger than TREX which ate fish often and had a key sail on its back for temperature regulation. Some of spines were more than 6 ft high. They large teeth instead of curved like many meat-eaters. Geologic strata: Tegana Formation Geologic timeframe: Mid-Cretaceous 100 MYA Item location: Kem-Kem Basin (sandstone deposits) close to Erfound and Rossani South of Taouz, Morocco, North Africa Item Description: 12 + This is an ULTRA RARE Unbelievable Spinosaurus Complete Section of foot including metatarsal and 3 toe bones (Phalanx) which is 22" long from a large adult with all bones articulated all found at same spot. The claw is a 4" claw. All of these bones are becoming rarer and rarer but to get all bones of entire section of foot including claw is unheard of. All are natures own with about 20% of only one bone (second phalanx) restored. A foreign dealer gave this up reluctantly and the claw is original with some compression only. This is a prize piece that you will never see. Imagine a TREX whole section of foot with every bone in that section or phalanx. The claw alone is worth the bulk of the amount. |

Rare Whole Spinosaurus Foot with 4 clawsSpecies: Spinosaurus aegytiacus Species description: Largest Ever Therapod Meat – eating carnivore with long jaw with many teeth From North Africa up to 60 ft long and larger than TREX which ate fish and had a huge sail on its back with spines. Geologic strata: Tegana Formation Geologic timeframe: Middle Cretaceous Period 98-93 MYA Item location: Morocco, South Africa - South of Taouz Morrocan Sahara Item rating and description: 12++ Beautiful RARE Full Articulated Spinosaurus Foot with 4 Foot claws with largest about 3 1/8 inches (15 bone set) with minimal restore. This is a prize few people have in the world which comes from rarely found carch claws and bones all in excellent condition. It is from a smaller dinosaur which grew to lengths bigger than TREX – Anyway this is the first full foot of this therapod I have ever seen and I mounted it articulated on an oak board for display. It is one of a kind and African therapods are getting harder and harder to find as per the foremost finders informed me recently. This is from a highly respected Sahara finder and I just had to have it. This is another of my prize pieces if it does not sell I keep it forever and will admire it for years to come. The claws alone are worth my price as they have appreciated due to rareness. |

Gigantic 4-4.5" TREX Lower Jaw ToothSpecies: Tyrannosaurus rex Species description: One of largest carnivore during dinosaurs age with 12" corner teeth with roots and up to 49 ft long and 15 Ft high that lived in western USA- largest in the United States that ever lived and killed and scavenged prey. Geological Period: Late Cretaceous Period 70-66.5 MYA Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation Geologic location: SE Montana ranch Glendive Area Item description and rating: 12++ This is a Unbelievable Large 4-4.50 inch TREX Tooth. It was described as a very good tooth that was 3rd tooth back on lower jaw by Pete Larson on a recent trip. By being this tooth it is very long at end and wide also with both over 1.5 inches .Serrations on top side perfect and serrations on bottom side very good with only a little natural wear on a few. Restoration only in small area on top of tooth and is difficult to see. It was professionally prepped and crack fills in areas occurred even though no full complete breaks are evident. I have sold 5 large TREX teeth this year and this is the best by far. It is close to perfect with beautiful enamel. The larger the tooth usually means lower the quality but not on this beaut. The 4 inches is on one side and 4.5 inches on the other. I had a 5 incher not near as nice sell for $5200 this year. Anyway I will let pics do talking.

Rare 95% Original Oligocene Hyracodon Running Rhino Skull 14.5" LongSpecies: Hyracodon (Running Rhino) Species Description: Hyraodon is an extinct First Rhinoceros on western plains of Oligocene pony sized which had a large skull for size of body. It was a herbivore and differed very little from early primitive horses. even though dentition resembled later rhinos. I inhabited open forests and wooded stepps and turned from Browsing foliage to grazing grass. It was a relative to largest land mammal ever Paraceratherium 26 ft tall. Geological Formation: White River Formation Geological Period: 32-26 MYA Item Location: Pennington County, South Dakota Item rating and description: 12 Rare Oligocene American Running Rhino Hyracodon 14" Skull. This is the first one I ever had and whole skulls are almost impossible to find. As you can tell I love Oligocene and this is a rare animal like a horse but heavy. It ran well and had no horns but did look like subhyracodon with a protrusion hanging from eyes forward. It is 95% original and is really gorgeous in back of skull and the front with all teeth original and only a small few areas of restoration which you cant tell. Bone quality is top notch as well as teeth. The one in back is exceptional also. While pieces are found a complete skull almost never occurs and I have never seen another whole skull so if you want a skull few people have don’t wait on this one. I can't discount this one as I try to keep them low as it is. Anyway if you haven't heard of this animal that is because no one knows of it so here it is.
