Rare US Saber-toothed Tiger Skeleton From 37 Million Years Ago Goes Up For Auction

News 18  

A rare skeleton of a saber-toothed tiger which roamed the northern United States some 37 million years ago is estimated to fetch 60-80,000 Swiss francs next week, auction house Piguet said on Tuesday. It is particularly rare because its skeleton is 90% complete,” Piguet director Bernard Piguet told Reuters Television. Fabrice Van Rutten, Piguet’s antiquity art specialist, said the item had a “universal dimension” without religious or cultural associations. “It speaks to all of us regarding where we come from on Earth…I think this is one of the rare artistic areas without borders,” he said.
