Replica Sabertooth Cat Deluxe Smilodon Skull
Probably the largest, most complete Sabertooth Cat found near the tar-pits in Los Angeles. This individual is remarkable in that it has its septum intact and has virtually no reconstruction. The sabers (over 10 inches long) are complete and removable. The jaw, as well as the sabers, were found associated with the skull. The molding and casting process captured the nasal cavity, with its septum as well as the cavities where the sabers go. Found in the 1930s across the street from the La Brea Tar Pits. The site was immediately closed and is now under a bank building.

The detail on this skull is impressive. The septum and nasal cavity are clearly visible, and the sabers fit perfectly. It’s a great representation of a real Sabertooth Cat. I’m very satisfied with the accuracy and craftsmanship.

Received the skull in perfect condition. The 2-part design makes assembly easy. The sabers are long and well-made. It looks authentic and is a standout piece for any collection.
Luke Pullman –
Very detailed and well-cast. The only minor issue is that the jaw doesn’t align perfectly with the cranium when assembled. Otherwise, it’s a high-quality replica.
