Mammal - Fossil skeleton - Canis teilhardi - 25 cm - 45 cm

An exceptionally rare and museum-grade masterpiece is being offered: the fossil skull of a prehistoric wolf (Canis teilhardi), beautifully preserved in the original natural matrix. Canis teilhardi is one of the earliest representatives of the canid family (Canis) and offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of prehistoric predators.

The fossil has been expertly prepared to bring anatomical details to the fore without compromising the structural integrity of the matrix. The object is supplied with a luxurious, tailor-made metal presentation stand, making it an immediate standout in any exclusive collection, cabinet of curiosities, or modern interior.
