Hyaenodon Skull Fossil. Hyaenodon mustelinus, the smallest and rarest of the Hyaenodon species, was a 30 million year old carnivorous mammal from the extinct creodonts that resembled a hyena with a large head. In addition to sharp incisor teeth, Hyaenodon also had carnassial teeth with the last upper premolar and first lower molar having sharp edges to rip flesh. This 6 x 2.5 x 3 inch medium brown skull is still partially embedded in its smoothed stone matrix as found in Sioux County, Nebraska. The skull comes from an old collection and is of excellent quality, uncrushed and possessing a rare mouthful of original teeth.
