Dire Wolf Canine Tooth Cast...
I am in search of an accurate canine tooth casting from a dire wolf... Paleo Northern America. Anyone have a reputable (and hopefully affordable source) of a well intact repro of an authentic piece?

Thank you all...

Have you tried contacting the La Brea tarpit Museum in California? They had a hallway full of Dire Wolf skulls and may know someone who does castings....

Thank you Markus, that may be the way to go... While using Google images as a source for picture references, I found a photo that was a wall of Dire Wolf skulls from Le Brea.

Bone clones has castings of the La brea material, but I don't know about individual teeth.

No one seems to have a dire wolf tooth cast- but here's some fossil teeth- rather pricey- Wolf Fossils from Paleo Enterprises, page 2 - and on the same site, a dire wolf skull cast for $175. These are good folks to deal with.
