#FossilFriday, The Midwest’s #Homotherium! A partial skullcap, the first Homotherium specimen found in Minnesota, was recovered in 2008 from Tyson Spring Cave in Fillmore County.
The find, along with a Cervalces scotti skullcap, was later published by Chris Widga and colleagues in Boreas (Widga et al., 2012).

newest episode of Common Descent is about saber teeth!
They cover everything from Smilodon to Nimravids to Gorgonopsians to fanged deer (although not Hoplitomeryx)! Even Uintatherium gets a mention. Covers recent research on why Smilodon's canines would have been visible when the mouth was closed, while Homotherium's canines would have been concealed when the mouth was closed.

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Homotherium
In 1826, Reverend John MacEnery found Pleistocene aged canine teeth in a cave near Devon.
In 1846, Richard Owen described those first fossils as Machairodus latidens,
In 1890, while reviewing the material, Emilio Fabrini proposed the name Homotherium, a subgenus of Machairodus.
Between 1918 and 1976 several more species of Homotherium were named
In 2014, a review recognized only one species of Homotherium in Eurasia, synonymizing the rest.

Mummified #SaberToothed Kitten Emerges in #Siberia
The #Homotherium cub was preserved in Siberian #permafrost with its fur and flesh intact.
Using CT scans to examine cub’s bones, Dr. Lopatin and colleagues confirmed the 37,000-year-old mummy was a Homotherium, a rangy, lion-size cat with long forelimbs and heavy shoulders. The species was the last of the saber-toothed cats, which occupied a branch on the tree of life distinct from modern #felines.
