30 Million Years Old Camel Fossil Skull Found in Sioux County Nebraska. Rare and valuable fossils are sometimes found in the White River Badlands where they are uncovered by rain, wind and frost and are quickly destroyed unless they are found and collected. Poebrotherium was one of the very first camels over 30 million years old which originated in North America and not in Asia. It was the size of a sheep and lived in herds standing only about 30 inches tall. It had longer hind legs than forelegs and was built for speed. This virtually complete skull is 8 x 5 x 2" and is still positioned on the stone matrix as found in Sioux County Nebraska. The quality is outstanding with just the very front teeth restored. Estimate Value $1,600 - UP
