I made a quick search and this skull is a reconstruction of the same skull reported by Tao et al. (2016) from the Gansu Province in China. So the real size is 415 mm in GSL correctly measured and that figure of 18 inches (457 mm) was probably taken along the countors of the skull with a flexible tape. That is a common error in this type of pages where they sold replicas, they try to make it bigger than what it is. You can also use the ruler in the same image and you will see.

So, no skull of 457 mm from Machairodus/Amphimachairodus, the biggest one is of 415 mm, still a true giant. Reply
