Moeritherium lyonsi Andrews, 1901 - fossil mammal skull (cast). (public display, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA)
Moeritherium is a very early elephant (= proboscidean mammal).
From museum signage:
"Complete skulls of Moeritherium are rarely found. To understand what these animals looked like, scientists create composites, or combinations of skull parts from different individuals. This cast is a composite of a cranium and jaw from two different Moeritherium specimens."
Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Proboscidea, Moeritheriidae
