What a great find! 15,000 years old, that's incredible.
The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.

It is actually a "horn core", as bison will shed the actual keratin "horn" on a seasonal basis. Your piece is bone, and a part of the skull.
Very interesting.
That is not true,Bison did have "Horns",not antlers, which means they do not shed there horns.Sheep and goats are the same way.I beleive Antelope are the only mammal that has a bone core yet has antlers(sheds them yearly)
M.X.T , Tesoro Tejon 4"& 2.5" dredge with a little luck!!
