2.2" Fossil Bone Crushing Dog Associated Canines - Florida
This is a pair of associated, fossil Bone Crushing Dog (Osteoborus) canines collected from the Hubbard Pit in Sarasota County, Florida. They both measure about 2.2" long and are wonderfully preserved with excellent enamel on both of their crowns.
Osteoborus first appeared during the Late Miocene, approximately 8 million years ago. It was a genus of primitive dogs with robust, conical teeth, similar to those of hyenas. These teeth would have been well adapted to crushing bones, which leads the group of dogs this genus belongs to be called Borophagus (Bone Crushers)
