Wooooow! Great information man, thank you for sharing.

Now, if I am not mistaken, this table is about all the bones of the specimen asociated, correct?

If that is correct, the bones are not exceptional at all, in fact, they are average for Panthera atrox and just slightly longer than the biggest modern tigers. And checking the skull, it is so crushed that it could be possible that its sceptional length could be just an efect of that?

So, this is the skull CHA.1‑98‑C3‑246 of 483.6 mm, is very flat and deformed, but please tell me your appreciation. Reply
