- Lot Description
Prehistoric World (global). Clockwise in Photo 1: (1) Found in Bone Valley Formation, Polk County, Florida, USA, ca. late Miocene, Hemphilian Age, 7 million years ago. Five fossilized examples of Megalodon teeth with varied colors of fossilized stone. (2) A fragment of a Baculites sp. with a lovely iridescent patina on its surface. Baculites are extinct cephalopods with a nearly straight shell who lived worldwide during the Cretaceous Period (ca. 139 to 66 million years ago). (3) Found in Yakutia, Siberia, Pleistocene (Ice Age), ca. 30,000 to 10,000 years ago. A wonderfully preserved clump of mammoth hair, showing that the animals were grey-brown. All are displayed together in a glass fronted shadow box which is: 0.95" L x 16.1" W x 12.25" H (2.4 cm x 40.9 cm x 31.1 cm)
(4) Found in Brasso, Romania, Pleistocene, ca. 40,000 years ago. A fearsome cave bear tooth from Ursus spelaeus with great preservation of the tooth itself, which has attained a pretty pearlescence from age. Despite their fierce appearance, cave bears had a mostly vegetarian diet, and ultimately went extinct during the Last Glacial Maximum ca. 27,000-24,000 years ago when the vegetation they relied upon disappeared. (5) Found in Patagonia, Argentina, Late Cretaceous, ca. 80 to 66 million years ago. A pair of fossilized eggshell fragments from Saltasaurus, a relatively small sauropod which had bony plates known as scutes embedded in its skin to serve as armor. Each fragment has a great preserved surface showing the pores the embryonic dinosaur needed to survive. (6) Found in Sahara Desert, Morocco, Middle Cretaceous, ca. 110 to 90 million years ago. Two fossilized teeth and a coprolite from Spinosaurus aegypticus, a sail-backed carnosaur. (7) Found in Taimyr, Siberia, Pleistocene (Ice Age), ca. over 10000 years ago. Several strands of woolly mammoth hair from another area of Siberia. (8) Western North America, Morrison Formation, Jurassic Period, ca. 156 to 146 million years ago. Six petrified dinosaur bone fragments, with shades of black, grey, and brilliant red, from one of the most famous fossil formations in the world, the home of stegosaurus, allosaurus, many sauropods, and early ankylosaurs among others.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired in the mid-1990s to 2000s; ex-private Portland, Oregon, USA collection
