After a loooong long time I've got a new piece to prepare! I recently recieve this beautiful Hyaenodon canine from Saint hyppolite de Caton (an upper Eocene locality). Many of you would prefer to leve the tooth in the matrix but I'm just to curious to extract it a see how is preserved on the other side but also because this is rock is super rich of fossils and I want to see if I can find anything else.

Hello I found this in the White River Formation in Wyoming. Is this a Hyaenodon ? The block of rock seemed much harder than usual and had no cracks in it. It was more difficult to prep out than other similar fossils (oredonts, archeotherim, Probotherium) that I have found in the same area. I think maybe the harder un-cracked matrix contributed to the nicer quality of the fossil. Lots of amateur prepping mistakes but the matrix was soooo resistant to removal. Just wouldnt pop off nice like it does sometimes and I dont own a respectable sand blaster machine.

Hello, everyone I recently got this nice carnivore mandible from the upper Miocene of the phosphorites of Quercy. Unfortunately only two molars are preserved but their morphology are definitely Creodont like (Hyaenodontid). Now in Quercy several different Creodonts are been found. I searched through bibliography and photos and I think the morphology and dimensions of the mandible are very similar to Cynohyaenodon (cayluxi). What do you think about it? Do you have other hypothesis and ideas?

This is another skull in my collection that look very similar to the other that I posted. I believe this might be another Hyaenodon. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

Here are a couple canines that I have in my collection- What do you have? Oreodont (Left) & Archaeotherium (Right) - (Oligocene-White River Formation- South Dakota) Hyaenodon (Oligocene-White River Formation- South Dakota) Oreodont (Oligocene-White River Formation- South Dakota) Coyote (Pleistocene- River Terrace Deposit- Kansas) -
I have two associated Hyaenodon horridus mandibles from Nebraska. They puzzled me because they appear to be from an adult but when I removed some matrix is saw gaps for a molar and a tip of tooth peeping out. I looked into it and it seems that the last molar doesn't reupt until age 3-4 so that is roughly the age of this animal. To verify, I asked a good mate to xray it. You can clearly see the tooth roots below the crowns of the teeth and below the gum line (ie embedded into the bone). You can also clearly make out the mandibular canal (long dark line running ventrally (below) the teeth - it's

Hyaenodon jaw found in the Nebraska Badlands. I believe it to be horridus but am no expert. -
