Mortality Group

The warm rust tones of the fossils scatter across the pale cream matrix revealing a remarkable mortality group. Featuring the remains of at least 5 animals, this striking piece includes a wonderful variety of skulls, vertebras, ribs, leg and hip bones. Merycoidodon resembled pigs with bodies reaching over 4 feet long and short limbs. An early relative of camels, these herd animals had distinctive canines and were widespread across North America. Attractively displayed on a custom ebony base, this unique group captivates the most seasoned collector, revealing seemingly endless secrets of the past.
