Fossil Tapir Jaw Section
Tapirus veroensis
Early Pleistocene
Santa Fe River, Florida, USA

An absolutely superb and equally intriguing specimen, this fossil consists of a section of Tapir jaw with three beautiful, jet-black slick teeth fully showcased as well as a bonus, single uninterrupted tooth still inside the jaw bone. Presented on a custom black metal stand, this piece is exceptional. A combination of quality preservation and an excellent display make this one most appealing and collectible specimen. The condition of the three primary teeth in the jaw are pristine, which is key to the quality of this piece.
