GIANT GROUND SLOTH SKULL
Megatherium sp.

Uraguay
The giant ground sloth and other megafauna developed in isolation in what is today South America, when it was an island continent during the Paleogene period, 50 million years ago. This remarkable skull has a satisfyingly hefty appearance, fine patina and texture, and a good full set of teeth, 18 inches long on an ebonized wood and metal display stand.
