| Notes | Suggestion: could get this cast (or photographs) and sent off to various experts. Definetely a big cat but which of the three large Cromerian cats: Hometherium latidens, Lion, Panther gomabazogensis. Contact Hannah O'Reagan (Ph.D. on H. gomabazogensis) Liverpool. There is a definite difference cf. lion and this bone is quite variable; this bone is Cromerian so the lions were bigger than modern ones. |
