Fossil matrix - Hipparion - 45 cm - 20 cm

Free shippung ! This is a very rare skull of a Hipparion. • Well-preserved skull structure with clear overall morphology • Teeth clearly visible • Eye socket (orbit) intact and three-dimensional • Stable mineralization • Ideal for exhibition, educational display, or high-end private collection The dental wear patterns clearly demonstrate its herbivorous diet. The elongated snout and cranial proportions are consistent with classic Hipparion morphology. Complete skull specimens of this type are uncommon on the market, especially those retaining well-preserved dentition, making this piece particularly desirable. The three-toed horse is an extinct side branch in the evolutionary history of mammals, Perissodactylidae. It was once widely distributed in North America, Asia, Europe and Africa. Its habitat includes forest-free areas, grasslands, short grass grasslands and steppes, etc. . Three-toed horses are also much smaller than modern horses.
