7.3" Partial, Fossil Oreodont (Merycoidodon) Skull - Wyoming

This is a 7.3" long skull of Merycoidodon culbertsoni, an Oreodont. It was collected from the the Brule Formation in Wyoming and would be approximately 30-34 million years old. Both zygomatic arches are present, though each required crack repair and the left arch required some gap fill restoration. Many of the teeth are still present with some crack repair through fractures. The skull section posterior to the orbitals has been repaired where it broke away from the anterior half. The mandible was not recovered with this skull.
