14" Fossil Running Rhino (Hyracodon) Skull - South Dakota
This is a very nice 14" long skull of the running rhino, Hyracodon nebrascensis. It was collected from the Brule Formation in South Dakota and is approximately 30-34 million years old.
This skull has very little restoration compared to most White River skulls, about 5% in total. The premaxillary teeth have been restored but all of the remaining teeth have very nice preservation. Other than that, the zygomatic arch on the right side has been restored, and there are some areas of repair and crack fill, but nothing major.
It comes with a display stand.

Hyracodons were hornless running rhinoceroses with large heads compared to their slight, pony-like bodies. They are an extinct line, though: we're sure you've noticed that there are no rhinos browsing the plains of North America today.
