Weight: 0.175kg

Merycoidodon (Oreodon) culbertsoni (Leidy 1848)
From the Oligocene,Brule formation.
Collected from south of Wall,Pennington county,South Dakota,USA.
Very nice jaw section with two teeth from this 35 million year old, weird early pig like animal,often called Ruminating hogs..
This species was herd like, and would have lived very much like the modern day animals on the plains, keeping close to a water and food source.With short stout legs they would have been unlikely to move at any speed.
The specimen is loose from matrix and measures 32mm x 23mm.
