Modern coyote jaw  (several available, right and left)
about 6" in length  $10 each  order w251
COMMENTS:  these are very useful for identification purposes regarding just about every kind of fossil canid, from small dogs to giant bears and beardogs.  All the teeth are about identical, just a size difference.  You can tell immediately if the fossil is a canid or a cat by comparing the teeth. It is also helpful to know that an adult dire wolf mandible is a minimum of about two inches longer than this jaw.

1 1/2"  $10 order f583
COMMENTS:  no incisor, but super nice molars, bone solid and well mineralized.

The  vertebra below is 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."   The vertebra is from the Lake Rousseau area in Citrus Co. FL. and shows the " before" picture 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.  This  piece was accurately restored using as an example a rare, perfect specimen, complete and uneroded, which also came from Citrus Co. FL.  $250.
