Sabertooth Cat, Chinese Megantereon
Megantereon nihowanensis
Megantereon nihowanensis Skull
A more complete skull than our BC-106 Chinese Sabertooth Cat, this Megantereon nihowanensis skull has both sabers.
Late Miocene to earliest Pleistocene, (6 - .9 mya) China. The genus Megantereon has a very long history in the fossil record. It is found throughout most of the world. About the size of a stout jaguar but with a longer neck, this dirk-tooth saber cat was most likely a formidable predator. Most authors agree that Megantereon was a direct ancestor of the infamous genus Smilodon. 2-part skull (separate cranium & jaw).
4 ½" W x 5 ½" H x 10" L / ca. 11.5 cm x 14 cm x 26 cm
A custom metal display stand is available on demand.
