FOSSILS AND ARTIFACTS FROM
PALEO ENTERPRISES

CAT MATERIAL

Of all the Pleistocene fossil material, carnivore representations are the rarest, and of these,
the least often encountered is the cat.  At Paleo Enterprises we are pleased to be able to offer an exceptional selection of high quality and rare specimens which are available only occasionally.
