From museum signage: "Innocent Assassins A 25 million-year-old cat fight This remarkable specimen consists of the skull of an extinct cat-like predator with its canine tooth piercing the leg bone of another cat. It inspired Nebraska-born writer and scientists Loren Eiseley to compose a poem, The Innocent Assassins, which begins: Once in the sun-fierce badlands of the west in that strange country of volcanic ash and cones, . . . we found a saber tooth, most ancient cat, far down in all those cellars of dead time. Eiseley was a member of the museum field party that discovered this fossil in Black Hank Canyon in 1932. " Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Carnivora, Nimravidae Stratigraphy: Gering Formation, Upper Oligocene Locality: Black Hank Canyon (Black Hank's Canyon), south of the town of Bayard & ~3 miles west of Redington Gap, Wildcat Hills, western Morrill County, western Nebraska, USA See info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimravus |
