PrehistoricFlorida Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ultra rare fossil from one of the most sought after carnivore species; Panthera atrox. Uncleaned and has purple algae stain from a North Florida river. Out of the tens of thousands of fossils I handle each year, this is one of only a handful of American lion fossils that I have had. Enjoy! Merry Christmas! www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 a very special piece, and a side benefit of this and some other things that get posted is that they motivate me to look up the animal and learn more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
