Rare fossil skull of the megafauna of the Ice Age period. It is a huge complete skull of the extinct Giant Deer or Giant Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus). Megaloceros skulls are most often severely damaged and usually missing most of the skull with only the back portion present where the antlers were attached. This skull is very complete with some restoration on the antlers. This makes it a very good impressive collection item. Comes with a custom made stand.
