The two vertebrae below are Aepycamelus major, the large Giraffe Camel from early late Miocene, which lived in Florida approximately seven to ten million years ago.  Hulbert writes (p. 259)  that this animal was "...as tall as the living giraffe, standing more than 4 meters at the shoulder."  These are the only two fossils of this rare animal that I have seen for sale since I have been in the fossil business.  Both are from the Lake Rousseau area in Citrus Co. FL.  Each shows the " before" pictures before restoration, where it can be seen that the principal replaced parts are basically the transverse and spinous processes, which are usually missing on most river vertebrae.  Each was accurately restored using as an example a rare, perfect specimen, complete and uneroded, which also came from Citrus Co. FL.  Each is $250.
