About the Item
A fossilized horse leg. Equus sp., Pleistocene, Florida, USA
This set of fossil horse bones dates from an extinct equine. The inter-locking bones are elegantly presented in a vertical orientation held in place with a black metal armature on a wood base. The umber colored bones, dating back some 40 million years, are well-preserved. It is a truly interesting specimen to be sure, and the ancient leg offers some insight into the anatomy of the early ancestor of the modern horse. Smaller than the contemporary horses of today, which is apparent from these fossilized leg bones, Equus lived in herds and was extinct in North America by the end of the Pleistocene ("Ice Age"). Measures : The wood box:40x44x24 cm and bones 40 cm large.

1920s Czech Taxidermy Cow Tur Domácí Bos Taurus Hind Leg Bone Classroom Study
Located in Haarlem, NL
Very interesting early 20th Century Czech made taxidermy cow "Tur Domácí Bos Taurus" hind leg for classroom study, probably used at a University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
The leg is at least a hundred years old, you can see by the way it is fixed together (the curly iron thread) and the surface ware of the real bones, it is smooth and yellowish.
The iron and wood holder however is probably aded very recently (my guess is in the 80s 90s).
Tur Domácí Bos Taurus (which is Czech and Latin for domestic bovine, or domestic cow) is an even-toed ungulate from the genus Bos of the bovine family...
