Scientific Name: Borophagus secundus

Borophagus is an extinct genus of the subfamily Borophaginae, a group of canids loosely known as "bone-crushing" or "hyena-like" dogs. Borophagus (boro = "carrion" or "flesh" and phagus = "to eat") is the holotype genus. Though not one of the biggest Borophagines, it had a more highly-specialized capacity to crunch bone than larger genera such as Epicyon, which seems to be a trend of the group (Turner, 2004).

This specimen was discovered in Hemphill County, Texas in the Ogallala Formation.

This strong resin (polyurethane plastic) cast can endure rough handling, no problem. It is an impressive full size replica 100% complete, with rudimentary "horn" cores evident. There is no restoration to the original. The finely detailed skull is 29 inches long and weighs about 50 pounds. The cranium is hollow. The jaw is separate and is moveable. All the teeth are present and complete.

This complete Brontotherium (Leidy) skull represents a primitive low horned stage Titanothere from the lower Oligocene of North America. The mode of feeding and the food of the broad-headed and long-headed Brontotherium can not be inferred with certainty, because their dentition differs considerably from that of any modern animal. The grinding teeth were perfectly adapted to a combination of cutting and crushing food. This adaptation implies a choice of succulent food consisting of relatively coarse leaves, grasses, buds, twigs, roots, and tubers such as would be found in the forest and stream habitats.

Titanotheres appeared as the dominant animals that existed throughout a long and very interesting epoch in geologic history. The Titanothere skulls were highly modified over time and space. Titanotheres appeared in the fossil record very soon after the C-T (Cretaceous-Tertiary) extinction of the dinosaurs. The Titanothere family is known from its earliest beginnings in Wind River Mountains of Wyoming in the first third of the Tertiary period. The earliest Eocene Titanotheres did not have horns used as offense and defense. In the Titanotheres we see the growth of a great and vigorous family tree, giving off numerous branches (phyla), which diverge in characters and habits while retaining hereditary resemblances and tendencies of transformation.

The so-called horns of the Titanotheres arise as rectigradations. They consist of osseous protuberances of the skull above the eyes, where the frontals overlap the nasal bones. In life they were probably covered with tough skin rather than with horns.

Grasslands became very common during the Oligocene. Many grazing herbivores appeared as a result of it. They included both large and small ones. Rhinoceratids were often heftly in size; smaller grazing mammals included oreodonts, such as Merycoidodon. Rhinos died out in North America during the Pliocene. They became extinct in Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistocene.

This skull was beautifully molded and cast from our original skull (which came from a natural death - the original skull is being donated to a local vet). We hope this skull will help educate veterinarians and the public alike. By providing high quality cast replicas the sale and trade of real skulls is no longer necessary.

My profits from the sale of this cast replica will go to Pit Bull rescues and BARC of Saint Louis which helps low income families spay and neuter dogs and cats of all breeds.

Pit Bull is the shortened name for the American Pit Bull Terrier, although it is often used to refer to other terrier mixes (for example, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier). Bred and valued for its tenacious grip, the Pit Bull is a powerfully built dog, with strong jaws, a thick, muscled neck, and impressive chest. Today, if raised with care, the Pit Bull is a loyal guardian and good-natured family pet. Its height ranges from 18-22 inches, and its weight most commonly falls between 35 to 55 pounds.

Harlan's Ground Sloth Skeleton

Paramylodon harlai Harlan's Ground Sloth Skeleton cast replica.

Paramylodon is an extinct genus of ground sloth known from North America deposits in Mexico and the United States. Currently there is just one recognized species, P. harlani, that is commonly referred to as Harlan's ground sloth in honor of American paleontologist Dr. Richard Harlan who first discovered and described a lower jaw in 1835. Paramylodon exhibits an interesting character of having had dermal ossicles, small bones embedded in the skin. This would have provided an interesting degree of protection to the animal, and this character is also shared by the South American Mylodon.

Stegodon are one of the largest of extinct elephants species (Proboscidean) with adults being 13 feet high at the shoulder, 26 feet long, not including 10 foot long nearly straight tusks. The genus Stegodon, (from Greek stegos: meaning roof, and odon: meaning tooth, referring to the step ridges on the molar tooth) has its origins in the late Miocene of Asia and belongs to the family Stegodontidae. There are 6 recognized species. Stegodons probably originated from Gomphothierium, and developed into a new direction with increase molar size and ridge-like dental features. The tusks were so close together that the trunk probably did not lye between them but instead draped over. Stegodon moved into Africa in the Pliocene and is regarded as the ancestor to present day elephants, as well as the extinct mammoths. The oldest finds of Stegodon are found in Asia. Stegodon diet consists of branches and foliage of trees.

Teleoceras is the most common fossil in the Ashfall Fossil Beds of Nebraska. In fact, its remains were so numerous and concentrated that the building housing the greatest concentraion of Ashfall fossils is dubbed the "Rhino Barn". Most of the skeletons are preserved in a nearly-complete state. One extraordinary specimen includes the remains of a Teleocerascalf trying to suckle from its mother.

Uintatherium Skeleton Rare and exotic dinocerta mammal of Eocene Uinta Colorado. Gunma MNH (Japan).

Uintatherium is an extinct genus of mammals. Fossil remains were discovered near Fort Bridger, Wyoming. This was a large browsing animal, about the size of a rhinoceros. What was most unusual about Uintatherium was its skull which was large and strongly built. Uintatherium had a flat, concave skull a feature not found in any other mammal, save, perhaps in some brontotheres. Its cranial capacity was exceptionally small due the walls of the cranium being tremendously thick. The weight of the skull was mitigated by numerous sinuses permeating the walls of the cranium, like those in an elephant's skull. The large upper canines were apparently formidable defensive weapons and were larger in males than in females.

Uintatherium mounted skeleton measures: 114in (2.89 m) length.

Available mounted: $21,650 or $16,000.00 unmounted (plus shipping)

Uintatherium Skull cast replica

The skulls of the males bore six prominent knob-like ossicones (horn-like or antler-like protuberance) which grew from the frontal region of the skull. The function of these structures is unknown. They may have been of used for defense or display. Uintatherium lived during the early to middle portions of the Eocene. It was an herbivore, eating leaves, grasses and shrubs. Uintatherium lived near water and used its sabre-like canines to pluck the aquatic and marsh plants which comprised its diet. It became extinct by climatic changes and competition with brontotheres, and true and hyrachodont rhinocerii without leaving any descendants.

Zygorhiza kochii ("Koch's Yoke-Root") is an extinct species of cetacean. A Eocene Whale Skull & The Mississippi State Fossil

Zygorhiza was a smaller, less elongated, 6 m (20 foot) long relative of the famous Basilosaurus. Zygorhiza had flippers which could, unlike in modern cetaceans, be moved at the elbow. Its hind limbs were rudimentary. Zygorhiza's one-metre (3-foot) skull had fearsome jaws with deadly teeth. Unlike modern cetaceans, Zygorhiza had a neck consisting of seven vertebrae.
