Item rating and description: 1-10 9.4 Beautiful Original Large Oligocene Mesohippus Skull 8” on Nice Metal Display Natural Matrix. It’s at least 85% plus original which is amazing for Oligocene animals. The color of Gray is just gorgeous. The skull is really amazing with very little restore mainly front upper with incisors and skull , little in one back , and spots on zygos . IT was done so well it’s very hard to see . If you look at a whole it’s so nice to look at here AS I said its gorgeous. Some of incisors are restored and rest of teeth all original. They don’t get better than this and a gray color is simply awesome . I’ve had some but this one of best ever . Its been awhile. My last one went for 4500 years ago . The quality you just can’t get this good. Bone quality is amazing. Its such a pretty darker color for this area. It was found close to Indian land but on private property of a rancher . I’ve been to this location before and amazing quality is what you get. . All other teeth on both sides are not only complete but amazing quality . All horses were small at this time but this is a big one. Just one glance I had to have it as it is so outstanding. I priced it to sell quickly as this will sell so fast my head will spin. This is an adult horse and second in line after Eohippus . I’ve only seen a few last 3 years . These are hard to get now as you mainly get partials when one found . I will not take less for this as I will gladly keep it. These all go for over 4000 now wholesale as demand has grown and supply limited . I bought the only I saw at Tucson show this year 2024. Here are the pics and Great deal at
