Fossil White-Tailed Deer Jaw #00704

This is the fossil jaw of a white-tailed deer!

The familiar white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is a medium-sized species of deer native to the Americas. The genus Odocoileus first appeared in the Pleistocene, and also includes the extant mule deer and Yucatan brown brocket.
Sourced from an old Florida collection, this is a fantastic jaw section with a striking and gorgeous natural purple and black coloration and gold-colored teeth. The purple color comes from a type of algae and it will remain on the specimen unless you scrape it off. This specimen is mineralized. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
A fossil, this specimen is not from an ESA-listed species and is legal to sell and possess. US sales only, sorry!
