aplomado Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I like collecting animal skulls, and this seems like one of the few ways to get a fossil skull... Does anyone collect Oreodont fossils here? If so, I would love to see a picture, and hear where you got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpevahouse Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Fossils from the White River Formation of Nebraska and the Dakotas are among the most interesting and accessible fossils of North America. Mammal fossils of the Oligiocene era can usually be obtained by the novice collector at reasonable cost. Oreodont fossils are among the most plentiful of the Oligiocene but fossils of titanothere, hyracodon, mesophippus, probrotherium, leptomyrx and other species are also abundant. Here's a few pictures of Oligiocene fossils I've bought from various collectors over the years: Oreodont skull from South Dakota, two assortments of bones bought from a person in South Dakota, oreodont articulated foot bones from South Dakota.
