This exceptional specimen bears the distinct bite marks of a prehistoric giant hyena ( Pachycrocuta brevirostris ): a precious rarity in the world of paleontology, testifying to a fossilized scene of struggle and survival. The gnawed surface, still legible, shows where the animal fractured the bone to reach the then highly sought-after marrow.

Mounted on a simple wooden base, this rare natural object becomes a sculptural piece , at the crossroads of art, science and memory.

A raw natural work, to be contemplated like a fragment of living history.
