Real Or Fake Hyaenodon Horridus Jaw?

[jhemphill]

I bought this juvenile hyaenodon horridus fossil partialjaw off ebay and wanted to know if it is a hyaenodon horridus, if it's real, and how I might be able to determine it's authenticity.

[Auspex]

I cannot speak for the species, but overall it certainly appears to be genuine, whatever it is.

Me likey!

[jpc]

looks absolutely real. I will also leave the species ID to others.

Looks to be the real deal.

Would love to add that looker to my collection. Green light from me.

Those teeth wouldn't look out of place on a old fashioned crosscut saw!

And would be very affective at tearing apart what ever they wanted to snack on.

They have very distinctive twin serrations on each tooth, and I thought that would

Make them reasonably easy to ID.

I have no idea myself, but would like to see your little mystery solved.

Do you know where they originated from?

Great find! And I hope you get a positive ID soon.
