Giant Beaver Skull, Fossil, Antique Finish (Replica)

Living during the Pleistocene era in North America, the Giant Beaver went extinct about 10,000 years ago. A huge species of rodent, they grew over 8 feet long and weighed up to 220 lbs. One of the important anatomical differences between the Giant Beaver and modern beaver species, besides size, is the structure of their teeth. Modern beavers have chisel-like incisor teeth for gnawing on wood. The teeth of the Giant Beaver are bigger, broader, more curved, and grew to about 6 inches long. In addition, the tail of the Giant Beaver must have been longer but narrower, and its hind legs shorter.

This museum quality replica is exactingly cast from an outstanding natural specimen, and hand-finished to resemble non-fossilized bone.

Made in California using polyurethane resin to capture the finest details.
