Oligocene Fossil "Rabbit" (Palaeolagus) Partial Skeleton -Wyoming

This amazing specimen features a rabbit-like lagomorph (Palaeolagus haydeni) upper skull, lower jaw, and limb bones with an in-situ presentation. The skull measures 1.4" long and and the entire specimen is 4.3" tall. It was collected from the Oligocene-aged White River Formation in Converse County, Wyoming. Rabbit skulls/bones are quite fragile and lightweight, and are rarely found complete. In fact, the environments that many lagomorphs inhabited were not ideal for preserving fossils.

There are two flat cut surfaces on the rock allowing for preferred presentation.
