Description from the seller

This Merycoidodontidae skull specimen is exceptionally well-preserved. The cranial shape and dentition remain intact with minimal restoration, showcasing a completely natural appearance that highlights the distinctive morphology and beauty of the species.

Merycoidodon was a common herbivorous artiodactyl that thrived in the grasslands of North America during the Oligocene epoch. Similar in size to a modern sheep, it had a slender skull, an elongated body, and was closely related to camels in evolutionary lineage.
