15.8" Fossil Oreodont (Merycoidodon) Disarticulated Skeleton

This is a beautiful disarticulated oreodont (Merycoidodon culbertsoni) skeleton in situ, collected from the White River Formation of Converse County, Wyoming. This formation is Oligocene in age, making this fossil approximately 32 million years old! The bones that have been exposed from the rock include an incredibly well preserved upper skull and mandible, the pelvis, several vertebrae, a nearly complete arm, and a rib. The entire specimen measures 15.8 x 10 x 3.7" and is accompanied by a metal display stand to assist with presentation.

Restoration is extremely minimal on this specimen and is primarily found in the form of crack repair, for the specimen was collected in multiple pieces and reassembled during preparation. All of the teeth of the mandible are natural and can be found exposed from both sides of the rock.
