Llama Prehistoric Ice Age Incisor Fossil in Display Case

Description: This prehistoric llama incisor tooth fossil in a great display case. The species is Hemiauchenia Macrocephala. I'd say this incisor tooth is museum quality. Absolutely beautiful! This tooth is from the Pleistocene Epoch. This fossil was found in Hillsborough County, Florida in the Leisy Shell Pit. This fossil was found by the famous paleontologist Frank Garcia. This tooth fossil is almost 1 1/2" long! The fossil comes in a unique prehistoric llama display case and includes a laminated information card. All fossils sold are authentic. No replicas. Hemiauchenia is a genus of laminoid camelids that evolved in North America in the Miocene period about 10 million years ago. This genus diversified and entered South America in the Late Pliocene about 3-2 million years ago, as part of the Great American Biotic Interchange. The genus became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene. The monophyly of the genus has been considered questionable, with phylogenetic analyses finding the genus to paraphyletic or polyphyletic, with some species suggested to be more closely related to living lamines than to other Hemiaucenia species. Remains of these species have been found in assorted locations around North America, including Florida, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Arizona, Mexico, California, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, and Washington. The "large-headed llama", H. macrocephala, was widely distributed in North and Central America, with H. vera being known from the western United States and northern Mexico. H. minima has been found in Florida, and H. guanajuatensis in Mexico. Over the Pliocene and Pleistocene, Hemiauchenia was an intermediate feeder that preferred browsing with a hypsodont dentition. According to analyses of H. paradoxa teeth from the Touro Passo and Santa Vitória Formations of Brazil, H. paradoxa was primarily a grazer of grasses. LL007
