| Fossil Cats - Bone Clones produces an extraordinary selection of fossil cat skulls and skeletons. Through the cooperation of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and other institutions, we have been able to cast an American Lion, Cave Lion, Ancestral Tiger, Dinictus, and several exceptional saber-tooth cats including Smilodon fatalis, Smilodon populator, Megantereon cultridens, Xenosmilus hodsonae, Homotherium cf. crenatidens and several species of Hoplophoneus. Also available are Bone Clones® replicas of various teeth and claws as well as complete skeletons of Smilodon fatalis and Xenosmilus hodsonae. Our Bone Clones® casts capture the fine details of the original fossils. |
