This is a museum quality art bronze casting made from a smilodon saber tooth tiger skull from one found at the Labrea Tar Pits in California. The preserved quality is excellent due to tar trapping out any air that might cause decay. This measures 15"H x 15"L x 7"W and is signed and dated by the artist as limited edition. Bronze mounted on black marble base. Most fossil castings you see are ceramic or plastic but you can buy this museum quality bronze casting for the same cost as the plastic ones. Base and stand included!
