So I just finished prep on this oreodon skull which I thought was a large eporeodon skull, but the size of the tusks has me stymied. The only oreodon I have seen with tusks of this size are promerychochoerus. At 10" long it would be a large eporeodon, but small for a promerychochoerus. It is also a bit wide for a normal eporeodon. Any opinions? Juvenile promerychochoerus or eporeodon with a very unfortunate overbite? Left side tusks are original, right side restored. Thanks!
